Officers from Northwich Local Policing Unit have arrested a man in connection with a burglary at a primary School in Winsford.

At around 3.40am today police were called to reports of a burglary at Willow Wood Primary School on Bradbury Road.

The caller reported that an unknown person had broken into the school and stolen a number of items.
