thicko criminalsThree men who broke into an air ambulance charity's new headquarters have been sentenced for their part in what police have described as a "despicable" crime.
Police were called to reports of a disturbance at the Magpas Air Ambulance site in Barnwell Road in Cambridgeshire at around 5.25pm on 2 July.
When they arrived, they found the site had been broken into and James Copeland and Luke Hodgkins, both 32, were arrested.
When a taxi turned up to pick up the two men, it led them to the third suspect.
CCTV revealed that three men had arrived in a white Ford Transit van earlier that afternoon.
The van was found a couple of miles from the air ambulance site in a compound, rented by Hodgkins, with stolen diesel inside, along with items including JCB parts and power tools.
A key to the new Magpas air ambulance building was also found at the compound.
Shortly after the pair were arrested, a taxi arrived booked by "Sam" to take the trio to Barnabas Court in Huntingdon.
There was also a second van registered to Barnabas Court, which officers visited and where they arrested Samuel Bamsey, 24, as the third suspect.
