A post on the OPU Warwickshire Facebook page says: “ We were informed by plain clothes officers from patrol that this vehicle was connected to thefts from the Leamington Shopping Park.

“We located the vehicle while one occupant was doing some more ‘retail therapy’ at Elliott’s Field Shopping Park in Rugby.

“Various shops were targeted with hundreds of pounds worth of items being stolen.

“A female is currently in custody helping us with enquiries and her male companion is joining her after failing a road side drugs test.”

The stolen items were returned to the shops from where they were stolen.
