The 2 suspects were detained near to the Broadway garage and a search of their persons began.

Another average day in Sandown
Just think what life would be like without the Police to deal with such types, they would run amock and life here would be horrible.
So thank you to them for putting themselves in harm’s way and apprehending these threats to our peace of life. It’s very much appreciated.
