POLICE have arrested a 15-year-old youth in connection with a robbery on a tram.

He was arrested following an appeal by British Transport Police earlier this week asking for help in identifying a youth captured on CCTV putting on a necklace he allegedly snatched from another passenger.

As a result the teenager was arrested in South Norwood yesterday (May 12).

He has been bailed until June 30.

The arrest relates to an incident on board a tram between Elmers End and Woodside on March 23.

Detective Constable Dan Arundell said: "We would like to thank those members of the public who came forward with information in relation to this matter."
