BUNGLING thieves attempting to steal the keys to a Mazda car could not get past a conservatory.

The thieves broke into the wooden conservatory in Wetherby Way, Ellesmere Port, between 4pm and 8am on Tuesday, November 10, with a screwdriver, forcing a window open.

But they could not get into the main house and police believe they wanted to find keys to the Mazda MPS on the driveway.

Anyone with information should call the police on 0845 4580000 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
