POLICE are on the hunt for fishers who may have had their gear stolen after landing a haul of equipment in Wanborough.

Officers visited an address in Wanborough on Tuesday after being called by a member of the public reporting a number of stolen items on the premises.

A search of the address was conducted by Wiltshire Police officers and a large quantity of fishing equipment, believed to be stolen, was found and seized.

A 40-year-old local man was arrested for theft and handling stolen goods and has been released under investigation.
