Officers swooped on three addresses in New Addington on Monday after a series of burglaries in the area.

Around 20 officers, including a dog unit launched the raids after the suspected burglars were caught on CCTV, between burglaries,entering and leaving a petrol station with their ill-gotten gains.
The youths arrested, all under 18, were woken up at 6am by officers searching for the stolen goods from garage burglaries that took place on March 27.
Motorcycles, an air rifle, hedge trimmers and golf buggies were just some of the items taken from the garages.
