A man is being questioned by police after three Workington businesses were hit by break-ins.

Home Bargains on Campbell Savours Way, clothing shop Yours on the corner of Steelmen Walk, and the Royal George on Cross Hill were all broken into in the early hours of yesterday morning, July 4.

A spokeswoman for Cumbria police said a 38-year-old man from Workington had been arrested on suspicion of burglary.

She added that the man remained in police custody.

Both shops were taped off yesterday morning as detectives and crime scene investigators gathered evidence.
