Burglary probe continues
NO arrests have yet been made in connection with two burglaries which took place on the same day in Widnes where houses were ransacked.
Detectives are investigating two incidents on Derby Road and nearby Boxgrove Close.
Suspects broke into the houses while no-one was home and conducted untidy searches, a Cheshire police spokesman said.
Jewellery was stolen during the Derby Road raid, while nothing is believed by police to have been taken from the Boxgrove Close incident.
The force has confirmed that no arrests have yet been made in connection with either of the burglaries and enquiries are still ongoing,
Last week, Detective Constable Stuart Clay, of Widnes Local Policing Unit, said: “Burglary is a serious offence in which victims are targeted in their own home, which is the place they should be able to feel most safe.
“We are investigating two burglaries in Widnes which occurred on the same day and may well be linked.
