Dear Cheshire Alert Member,

There has been a burglary on Chantry Road. The offender/s gained entry to the property between 10:15 on 29/11/24 and 17:30 on 29/11/24.

The offender/s broke in through the rear door and stole two phones from the property.

If you believe that you have seen anything or have any CCTV that has captured the offenders please contact the officer in the case on 101 and quote IML-1973740 alternatively you can e-mail the Macclesfield policing unit mail box on macclesfield.lpu@cheshire.pnn.police.uk.

Most burglaries are carried out by opportunist thieves, below are some ideas to prevent this happening to you: 
•    Consider driveway posts, steering wheel locks, and door bolts to deter entry.
•    When you go out, always lock the doors and windows.
•    Put your garden tools away, these provide an easy way to force entry to your house.
•    Make the house appear occupied, draw the curtains and leave a light on.
•    Keep keys away from the letterbox to stop burglars ‘fishing’ for them.
•    Don’t leave your bin out where they can be used as a step to climb a wall, fence or gate.
•    Have a neighbour check that milk bottles, parcels and post are not left outside or near the letterbox.
•    Visible burglar alarms, good lighting, and carefully directed and limited security lighting can act as deterrents.
•    If your car has keyless entry, consider purchasing a faraday bag that blocks the signal preventing thieves from using the signal to get in to your car.
