Good afternoon,

Unfortunately in the Helsby area recently, there has been a number of break ins to sheds and out houses in the area of Kings Drive and Mountain View. Residents are being advised to lock any valuable equipment away and keep it out of sight. If you can keep it safe in your house.

If you do see any vehicle or person acting suspiciously in your area please call 101 immediately or 999 in an emergency to report it.

There will be an increase in patrols in the area both in marked and unmarked police vehicles and also on foot patrol.

With it being Christmas time please take extra precaution when coming in and out of your homes. If you need to defrost a car then please do not leave it running whilst you stay in your home. Keep all keys for vehicles out of sight and away from easily accessible points such as windows, doors and letter boxes.

On behalf of Cheshire Police wishing you a Merry Christmas.

PCSO Jonathan Finchett
