Man and woman charged following crowbar burglary at Harrogate apartment

A burglary at an apartment in Harrogate has resulted in the arrest and charging of a man and a woman, following a major police investigation and a public appeal featuring security images.

The break-in took place at a residential apartment complex in Harrogate in mid-December 2025. According to reports, the offenders used a crowbar to force entry into the property, causing damage and stealing personal belongings. Shortly after the incident, North Yorkshire Police released CCTV images of a man and a woman they wished to speak to in connection with the crime.

The investigation reached a breakthrough in June 2026 when police confirmed that two suspects had been identified, arrested, and formally charged. Authorities thanked the public and media for their assistance in sharing the appeal, which played a vital role in identifying the suspects.

Both individuals are scheduled to appear in court to face charges of burglary and criminal damage. Residents are reminded to ensure their doors and windows are securely locked, and to report any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods immediately.
