Officers said they ‘promptly arrested’ and took a female suspect into custody after she was spotted running from the property. Cops then searched the address where a second woman was found and arrested. ‘The householder admitted to receiving stolen goods - she was given a community resolution on the spot,’ a post from Portsmouth Police said on Facebook with a picture of goods stolen from a Tesco shop.

‘This bounty was found in the address and returned to the shop,’ the post continued, before adding: ‘These two were selling stolen goods door to door to feed a drug habit. Buying it can put you at risk of prosecution. Two suspects arrested and back out for the next call.’
