A Crewe man is set to appear in court later this month - after being charged with stealing an estimated £200 worth of fuel from a vehicle.

Mark Watson, 33, of Peter Place was arrested and subsequently charged with theft from a motor vehicle.

The charges relate to the theft of diesel from a vehicle on Middlewich Road, Leighton on 1 August.

It is estimated the value of the stolen diesel was £200.

Mark Watson, 33, of Peter Place was arrested and subsequently charged with theft from a motor vehicle (Cheshire Constabulary).

Watson has since been bailed. He will appear at Crewe Magistrates' Court on Thursday 22 September.

The man was arrested and charged by Crewe Police officers PC Daley & PC Sadir.

A 46-year-old man has also been summoned to appear in court - joining Watson at Crewe Magistrates' on the same date.
