Man pleads guilty to burglaries in Crewe

A man from Birmingham has pleaded guilty to burgling two homes in Crewe.

Shafiollah Amiree appeared at Chester Crown Court on Wednesday 10 September where he pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary, three counts of theft of a motor vehicle and two counts of driving while disqualified.

The 24-year-old of Birchdale Road, Birmingham, has been remanded in custody and is set to be sentenced at Chester Crown Court on Monday 6 October.

The court heard how Amiree’s crime spree began in the early hours of Sunday 1 June 2025, when he broke into a house on Parklands Drive, Weston.

Once inside the address he searched through the cupboards and stole the keys to a grey Audi which was parked outside the address. He then fled the scene in the vehicle, which was later recovered in the Birmingham area.

Then, on Sunday 22 June he returned to the area, this time breaking into an address on Park Drive, Wistaston, from where he stole a BMW and a Ford Focus. The Ford Focus was later located in Tunstall, Staffordshire.

Investigations into the incidents were launched and during their enquiries officers recovered ANPR analysis which showed the stolen Audi and stolen BMW were both in the Birmingham area shortly after the incident.

Further analysis showed that both of the stolen cars had been travelling in convoy with a white BMW which was registered to an address on Birchdale Road, Birmingham

Officers attended the address in Birmingham at 8am on Monday 24 June and the white BMW was parked on the driveway.

Amiree was located inside the address, and was arrested after matching the appearance of the driver from the ANPR footage recovered by officers.

His phone was also located at the address and subsequent analysis placed him in the area at the time of both burglaries.

After recovering a catalogue of evidence, Amiree was charged in relation to both of the incidents. He was also charged with two counts of driving while disqualified, due to the fact that he had been banned from driving for three years on Wednesday 9 April 2025.

Following the guilty plea, Detective Constable Jamie Roberts, said:

“As this case demonstrates, if you commit crime in Cheshire, you will be caught and you will be brought to justice.

“No matter where you are from, there are no borders, and our officers are committed to travelling the length and breadth of the country to ensure that those who cause harm in our communities are held accountable for their actions.

“I hope that the guilty plea entered today will provide some reassurance for the victims in this case and allow them to move forward with their lives.

“I also hope that this case acts as a warning to anyone else who is thinking of coming to Cheshire to commit crime.”
