Two men have been charged in connection with two burglaries reported in Weymouth.

The incidents happened in Shirecroft Road at around 2.00pm on Monday (11th March).

Officers attended and arrested two men at the scene.

Following enquiries, a 38 year old from Basingstoke and a 45 year old from Weymouth were both charged with burglary and assault with intent to commit robbery.

They appeared at Poole Magistrates Court yesterday (Wednesday 13th March) and have been remanded in custody to appear before Bournemouth Crown Court next month.

There's an ongoing witness appeal as investigations continue.

Detective Sergeant Claire Lloyd, of Weymouth Volume Crime Team, said:

“We would like to thank the vigilant members of the public who reported this incident to police.
