Appeal for information following burglary in Weaverham

Police are appealing for witnesses and video footage following a burglary in Weaverham.

At around 00.30 on Tuesday 5 November two unknown offenders forced entry into an address on Longmeadow and stole the keys to a high-powered vehicle which was parked outside the house.

As the pair were in the process of stealing the car they were disturbed by the homeowner and fled the scene empty handed.

The pair ran off on foot, before getting into another vehicle which was parked further down Longmeadow, they then drove off onto Forest Street, travelling towards the A49.

As part of ongoing enquiries officers are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone with any CCTV or dashcam footage which may aid the investigation.

Officers would also like to speak to the driver of an unrelated vehicle which was captured on CCTV footage driving along Forest Street, travelling towards the A49, as the offenders were waiting to pull out of Longmeadow.

Detective Constable Lara Hill, or Northwich Proactive CID, said:

“This investigation is ongoing and we’re keen to hear from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area around the time of the incident.

“The same goes for anyone with any CCTV, dashcam or video footage which may aid our enquiries.

“I’d particularly like to hear from the driver of an unknown vehicle which was seen driving past Longmeadow as the offenders were fleeing the scene.
