Police swooped on an address and arrested a man in his 50s in Shanklin yesterday evening (Tuesday) in connection with a burglary in the town last month.
Shortly before 18:00, a number of officers arrived at an address on Atherley Road. It is here that they arrested a man in his 50s on suspicion of burglary.
The burglary is said to have taken place at a flat in Landguard Road on 4th March, in which a TV was reported stolen.
It has been confirmed that further enquiries relating to a number of incidents in the town were carried out at Osborne Road, Shanklin this morning (Wednesday).
Island Echo readers have been in touch to raise questions about the heightened Police activity in and around Shanklin over the past few days.
Any bets he’s from sandown
Had to be Shanklin Sandown or Ryde
Shanklin makes a nice change from sandown .
Nothing nice about any of it, it shows how bad crime has risen during this pandemic.
There like rats waiting to pounce at any opportunity when victim’s could have lost loved ones, or going through hardships and anxiety.
The last thing any of us want is low life scumbags in our homes..
It’s a shame you can’t deport people from the island any one agree ?
Absolutely Chris….. Send all the law breakers and the chavs somewhere else, we don’t want them here. The IOW council gets paid handsomely for letting them come here, so we get stuck with all the ‘non working drug taking low life’.
Bad all over the island not just Sandown Shanklin etc. Stop drugs stop crime
Shanklin always been a bit rough
Sandown/ shanklin all scum
Look out the overners Clare and Jay will have their say soon. Apparently this sort of thing has only happened here since the 2000’s

Stupid. All arguing about where criminals come from and pointing fingers. Are you all so naive to realise that all towns have a criminal element. You only have to talk to a policeman to tell you who the usual suspects are.
Well said Tim.
Just try telling that to half the spanners on here, apparently it’s only happened over the last few years according to them.
Vote me down but truth hurts
Another corkhead what a surprise, ship em off the island,mainland rules
Caulkhead.
Whats the beef with Sandown Shanklin and Ryde ? Try Newport for scumbags
Old bean are you as stupid in all you say and do. I assume you live in St. Helens or somewhere where people have rose tinted glasses. We have a lot of highly moral people in sandown/shanklin thank you
