A man has been arrested after a burglary at a garden centre on Aldermaston Road, Basingstoke.

We were called just after 9pm yesterday, 2 June, after two men were seen breaking into the garden centre. Several tubs of paint were stolen but have been recovered.

Our colleagues with the Ministry of Defence Police were first on scene and arrested a 27-year-old man from Wokingham. He remains in custody at this time.

Enquiries are ongoing to trace the second suspect.

Officers investigating would like to hear from anyone who has any information. Please phone 101 with reference 44210215218.

We would like to thank the officers from Ministry of Defence for their great work in making the arrest, and assisting us in our response to this report.
