Man held for gurdwara raid

A MAN has been arrested for breaking into a gurdwara in an area where a stabbing incident was reported earlier.

The Guru Arjan Gurdwara on Stanhope Street in Derbyshire reported a break-in to Derbyshire Police after its front doors were found smashed in the early hours of Monday (25) morning.

According to local media reports, police believe the breakin is linked to an attack nearby on Normanton Road. In the incident, a 41-year-old man was found unconscious with stab wounds in Polanica Polish delicatessen, a food outlet.

The man arrested in relation to the deli incident is now believed to have been held on suspicion of burglary in the temple break-in.

Derbyshire police superintendent Gareth Meadows said: “If you have any information in relation to these two incidents, please speak to the officers or contact us.”
