Police want to speak to these three men after a burglary in Cheshire

Police have released CCTV images of a group of men they wish to speak to after a house was broken into in Runcorn.

Three men broke into a property on Heath Road South at around 4.40pm on Wednesday, March 11.

The offenders fled empty handed after being disturbed by someone who lived inside.

Police have now issued CCTV images of three men - who are believed to have links to Rochdale - who they would like to speak to.

Anyone who recognises the men are urged to contact Cheshire Police.

Detective Constable Ciara Murphy, of Runcorn Local Policing Unit, said: “We are determined to establish the identities of those who broke into the house and make them face the consequences of their actions.

“We believe that tracing and speaking to the three males in the CCTV images will help us as we endeavour to achieve those goals.
