An 18-year-old Bodmin man has been arrested after a Royal Mail van was allegedly stolen in Saltash.

Officers were called to Callington Road at around 5.15pm on Tuesday.

When police arrived, it was discovered that a man had allegedly threatened a Royal Mail member of staff and stolen a set of keys.

He then stole a Royal Mail van and collided with a parked vehicle before leaving the scene, say police.
