THREE people were arrested on suspicion of theft after a large amount of alcohol was recovered from a vehicle near Liskeard.
More than 100 bottles of alcohol, including spirits and champagne, were seized by officers along with the vehicle, a silver Nissan Qashqai. Police had stopped the car as it was travelling along the A38 just after 5pm.
The two men, aged 34 and 36, and a 19-year-old woman, all believed to be of Lithuanian origin and living in the West Midlands area, were arrested on suspicion of theft and taken to Newquay Police Station.
The three were later released on police bail until February 11 pending further investigation.
‘Enquiries are continuing to find out where the alcohol was taken from and officers are appealing for information,’ said a spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police.
