Friday, 5 September 2025 13:01

A man who was arrested in connection to a series of high value burglary across the UK has now been charged.

Sidorjan Lleshi was arrested on Wednesday 3rd September after more than 30 officers from Cheshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Staffordshire executed two warrants at addresses in Sheffield and Stourbridge.

Lleshi, 26, of Durlstone Drive, Sheffield, has since been charged with conspiracy to commit burglary and conspiracy to possess criminal property.

He appeared at Chester Magistrates on Thursday 4th September where he was remanded in custody, he is next set to appear at Chester Crown Court on Friday 12th September.

A second man who was arrested during the warrants on Wednesday 3 September has been released on conditional bail until Friday 28 November.

Lleshi is the sixth person to be charged as part of operation Ambler, an investigation into a series of high value burglaries led by detectives from Macclesfield Proactive CID.

Four men and a woman were charged earlier this year as part of the same investigation and are due to stand trial at Chester Crown Court on Monday 5th January 2026.

The charges relate to at least 20 burglaries in Cheshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Cleveland.
