Two men have been arrested as part of an investigation into the theft of £2m of rail track from across the Midlands and South Yorkshire. British Transport Police said the men, aged 50 and 54, were arrested earlier on suspicion of conspiracy to steal railway track. It comes after two raids on properties in the Bessecarr area of Doncaster. Officers said the track was possibly being smelted down and sold on through scrap metal dealers.
