Appeal after information after watches stolen by burglars in Wilmslow

Officers are appealing for information and video footage after a number of high value watches were stolen during a burglary in Wilmslow. 

Sometime between 11.25am and 11.35am on Wednesday 10 November, two unknown men entered an address on Knutsford Road via a window at the rear of the property.

Once inside the home the men searched the building and stole two safes which contained a selection of men’s luxury watches.

The pair, who are both described as black men, then used a duvet cover to drag the safes across the garden and put them a light coloured car before driving off in the direction of Knutsford Road.

Enquiries in relation to the incident are ongoing and detectives are urging anyone with information that may help their investigation to come forward.

They have released photographs of the stolen watches and want to hear from anyone who believes they may know where the items are.

Police Constable Lawrence Price, of Macclesfield Local Policing Unit, said: “Burglary is a serious offence in which victims are targeted in their own home, which is the place they should be able to feel most safe.

“Enquiries in relation to this incident are ongoing and we want to speak to anyone who believes they may have seen or have footage of the burglars, either before they broke into the house in Knutsford Road, or as they were fleeing the scene.

“We also want to hear from anyone who thinks they may have information regarding the whereabouts of the stolen watches.”

Anyone with information or footage that may be relevant to the investigation should contact Cheshire Constabulary on 101 or at www.Cheshire.police.uk/tua, quoting IML 1129039.

Information can also be reported anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
