Appeal for information following business burglary in Sandbach

Detectives are appealing for witnesses and video footage following a burglary at a convenience store in Sandbach.

Sometime between 4am and 4.40am on Saturday 10th May, two unknown offenders approached the Co-op store on Lawton Way, Elworth.

The pair forced open the shutter and the door at the front of the shop. They then entered the building and forced open the tills before taking a quantity of cash.

The men then fled the scene on a quad bike in the direction of Grange Way.

Both suspects were wearing dark clothing and balaclavas.

Detective Constable Jamie Roberts said:

“Enquiries in relation to this incident are in the early stages and we are doing all we can to identify the people responsible.

“As part of our investigation I’m keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and believes that they may have seen anything suspicious.

“I’d also ask residents in the area to check their CCTV or video doorbell footage to see if they have anything which may aid our investigation.

“The same goes for any motorists with any dashcam footage.”
