Suspected gin thieves found hiding in haystack

Six people were arrested after police found gin worth more than GBP50,000 in a HGV.

They included two men found hiding in a haystack after allegedly jumping from the lorry's cab and running across fields.

North Yorkshire Police were called at 00:40 GMT to reports of a break-in at a business near Barton-Le-Willows, before chasing the HGV and a car along the A64 to Askham Bryan, west of York.

Two people in their 20s, three in their 30s and one in his 50s, all from West Yorkshire, were arrested on suspicion of burglary and remained in custody, the force said.
