Man arrested over Whitchurch Co-op cash machine burglary
Police investigating a ram raid at the Co-op store in Wrexham Road, Whitchurch last month, have arrested a suspect.
A 28-year-old man from Liverpool was arrested at Runcorn police station on suspicion of burglary at the store during the early hours of September 14.
During the burglary offenders used a vehicle to ram the outer shutter of the Co-op, breaking into the store before making off with the cash machine.
Police say at least two vehicles and four men were involved in the incident. A Toyota 4×4 vehicle was used to ram the outer shutter before the offenders smashed the glass and put a large strap around the ATM machine and pulled it out of the store. The cash machine was loaded on to a red car before driving off towards Wrexham with the Toyota.
The suspect has been bailed to return to Runcorn police station next month pending further enquiries.
