A post on the GMP Tameside North and East Facebook page yesterday read: "During the early hours of this morning officers on A Relief have responded to an incident having seen a post on Facebook about a male trying car doors in Mossley near to Roaches Lock.

"Officers immediately made the area, detaining a male after a foot pursuit.

"The male is currently in custody after being arrested on the suspicion of vehicle interference, and we are now appealing for potential victims as the male has acquired additional clothing/bags/tools since the post was created.

"No calls have been made to the police so we are keen to identify any victims."

If you have become a victim whereby your vehicle has been tampered with or broken into, get in touch with police officers on 101.

Please remember to call 999 or 101 if you witness any suspicious circumstances.
