A spokesman for Colne and West Craven police said: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank multiple local residents who assisted officers in making calls to say they had sighted the males running and residents in the street who offered help and assistance.

"This help does not go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated by the officers on the ground to bring this incident to a swift conclusion with the arrest of two prolific criminals."
