Two men have been arrested in Reading after officers carried out enquiries in the area.

Officers made the arrests on Abattoirs Road. Both men were wanted on prison recall.

During the arrest, police said one of the men initially provided officers with false details.

Further enquiries by officers established his true identity, and he was also arrested on suspicion of burglary in London and possession of Class A drugs.

Thames Valley Police said both men remain in custody while enquiries continue.

Anyone with information about crime in their area is asked to report it online or by calling 101. In an emergency, people should always dial 999.
