POLICE are keen to trace anyone who may have seen an alleged burglary in Market Weighton.

A break-in was reported at a chemist's shop in the town at about 6.15am yesterday.

Two men were reported to have escaped in a white Vauxhall Cavalier car.

A short time later a similar car was seen by police officers on patrol on the B1248 near Cherry Burton.

The car was followed through Beverley town centre before coming to a stop and two men - aged 28 and 25 years - were arrested for burglary and taking a motor vehicle without the owner's consent.

Police are investigating the way in which the Cavalier was being driven as well as the alleged burglary.

Anyone who has any information should call the police on 01482 578200.
