Second raid on supermarket in a month

DETECTIVES are urging witnesses to come forward following a burglary at a supermarket at Lymm – the second in just over a month
At around 2.10am on Saturday four men wearing dark clothing and balaclavas broke into the Sainsbury’s store on Rushgreen Road, Lymm.
They smashed a window at the supermarket’s entrance and stole a large quantity of cigarettes.
The offenders then fled in a white Volkswagen Golf GTi that had been stolen from Hale, Altrincham.
Enquiries into the incident are ongoing and detectives are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the offenders entering or exiting the supermarket or saw anything suspicious in the area.
They also want to speak to anyone who believes they may know who the offenders are or the location of the stolen car.
Detective Sergeant Thomas Hall said: “We are determined to catch the offenders and bring them to justice and I urge anyone with information that may help our ongoing investigation to get in touch.
“If you witnessed anything suspicious in the area or believe you may have dashcam footage of the offenders or the stolen Volkswagen Golf GTi we want to hear from you.
“Equally we want to speak to anyone who believes they may know the identity of the offenders or have information regarding the whereabouts of the stolen car.”
A similar raid took place at the store late on September 20 or early the following morning – but police have not suggested they could be linked.
Anyone with information that may help detectives with their investigation, no matter how small, should call Cheshire Police on 101, quoting IML 223815, give the details via https://cheshire.police.uk/contact/general-enquiries or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
