Detectives are appealing for information and witnesses following a burglary at a store in Prestbury where high-value designer handbags have been stolen.

At around 11.40pm on Sunday 8th June, police responded to reports of a burglary at an address on St James House New Road, Prestbury.

Three unknown offenders accessed a disused building next door at approximately 10.30pm that evening. They have then created a hole in the adjoining wall and entered the store through the chimney area.

The offenders stole a number of high-value designer handbags, with a total estimated cost of around £260,000.

“Our enquiries are ongoing, and we would urge anyone who witnessed this incident or saw anything suspicious to get in touch with us.

“The same goes for anyone with dashcam footage or CCTV which might aid our investigation.

“We also want to hear from anyone who thinks they may have information regarding the whereabouts of the items that were stolen.”
