Police are calling for witnesses and information after arresting a man from Slough following an accident that severely damaged a Wokingham shoe store.

A silver Mercedes E250 burst into the Clarks store in Market Place shortly after midnight on Friday, December 10.

The car was then removed from the wreckage of the store – the brickwork and store facade suffered “significant damage” – and was driven towards Bracknell.
