Appeal for information following two business burglaries in Congleton

Detectives are appealing for witnesses and video footage following two burglaries at a building society in Congleton.

The first incident occurred at around 3.30am on Saturday 21st June, when police were called to reports of an alarm activation at Nationwide on Bridge Street, Congleton.

On arrival officers found that an unknown offender had gained access to the building via a first-floor window.

CCTV footage showed the offender searching the premises before fleeing the scene empty handed.

Then, at 4.26am on Tuesday 23rd June, police were called to reports of a break in at the same premises.

On arrival officers confirmed that unknown offenders had forced entry into the premises via a fire escape.

It is unknown at this time whether anything was stolen during the incident.

Enquiries in relation to the two incidents are ongoing and anyone with any information is urged to get in touch.

Detective Sergeant Laura Fox, from Macclesfield CID, said:

“Enquiries in relation to these incidents 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 of either of the incidents 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.”
