Operation Ambler - Detectives appeal to reunite stolen property with rightful owners
Main article content
Detectives are seeking to reunite stolen property with its rightful owners, after hundreds of items were recovered as part of an investigation into a series of burglaries across the UK.
Operation Ambler resulted in the conviction of five Albanian men and a British woman in relation to at least 44 burglaries across the UK.
These included incidents in Cheshire, Cleveland, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and West Mercia.
While the gang have all admitted their guilt and are currently awaiting sentence, officers have been left with hundreds of suspected stolen items which they are keen to reunite with its rightful owners.
This includes designer handbags, jewellery, watches and clothing, as well as other items.
Detective Constable Clare Slattery, of Macclesfield Proactive CID, said:
“While we’re pleased that the gang have now been brought to justice, we’re also keen that the items we’ve located are reunited with their rightful owners.
“It is possible that the items we’ve recovered could have been stolen from anywhere in the UK, so I would encourage anyone who has been a victim of an unsolved burglary to take a look at our website to see if any of these items belong to them.
“Many of the items are unique and are also likely to have sentimental value, so we’re keen to return them as soon as possible.”
