Police appeal to taxi driver who could be key witness to burglary in Warrington
Police investigating a burglary in Warrington are appealing for information from members of the public, including a taxi driver who could be a key witness.
Offenders entered a house on Beamish Close in Appleton through the back door and stole the keys to a black Mercedes.
Two people got inside the Mercedes and drove away from the property. Two others ran on foot towards the entrance of the estate.
The burglary occurred at around 2.15am on Saturday 2 October.
As part of the police’s investigation CCTV footage shows a taxi in the area around the time the burglary occurred. Officers are keen to speak to the driver and/or the occupants inside who may have information that could assist with enquiries.
PC Neil Mooney, of Warrington Local Policing Unit, said: “We have been following numerous lines of enquiry and are keen to hear from anyone who may have information that could help the investigation.
“While reviewing CCTV footage we could see that a taxi drove into that area at the time the burglary occurred. The driver or the occupants inside could have information or seen people or vehicles that appeared suspicious.
“I want to take this opportunity to encourage them to come forward by calling 101 and quoting IML 1098445. Any information people have – no matter how small could really help.”
Information can also be provided anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
