CROOKS climbed on to the flat roof of a ladies fitness and wellness centre in Chester Road, Little Sutton, on the night of November 17.

They smashed the toilet window before making an untidy search of the first floor and ground floor.

Then they ransacked an office, emptying drawers, removing the safe, smashing two glass display cabinets and taking ladies handbags and costume jewellery.

In a separate offence, burglars forced the windows shutters outside a building site compound in Blackstairs Road, Ellesmere Port, on the night of November 16 and smashed a rear window, before removing sets of keys from the key cupboard.

They then tried breaking into two secure storage containers before taking diesel from a tank, cutting the hose and damaging the hand pump.
