Man arrested in connection with Handforth burglary

Detectives investigating a burglary have arrested a man from Wythenshawe.

A suspect was arrested after police raided three addresses in Wythenshawe and Sharston this morning (May 6).

The 24-year-old from Wythenshawe was arrested on suspicion of burglary in relation to an incident in Handforth in December.

He is currently in police custody being questioned by officers.

The warrants were carried by officers from Cheshire Constabulary and Greater Manchester Police.

Chief Inspector David Moores, Head of Macclesfield Local Policing Unit, said: “This morning’s raids were carried out as part of operation Hunted and form part of our continued efforts to tackle organized crime.

“The investigation has been led by detectives here at Macclesfield Beat Initiative Team, and relates to an incident at an address in Handforth in December 2020 during which a high value vehicle was stolen.

“I hope that this morning’s arrest provide reassurance to our communities, demonstrating that we are committed to doing all we can to tackle this type of criminality.

“I also hope that it acts as a warning to other offenders who are thinking about coming to Cheshire to commit crime.”
