A 'burglary kit' was found along with keys to a Porsche, Audi and Jeep and a Rolex watch by police who raided a house in Wythenshawe on Thursday morning (January 11).

Officers carried out the warrant at a house as part of investigations into a string of break ins across the Timperley, Partington and Bramhall areas recently.

Officers from GMP’s Neighbourhood Tasking Team and the Force Critical Wanted Unit arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of burglary and a 24-year-old woman on suspicion of handling stolen goods and obstructing a police officer. The pair remain in custody to be quizzed by detectives.
