Police officers in Crewe have issued a CCTV photo following a burglary at Church Hall in Wistaston.

At around 1.55am on Saturday 5 November, three men are believed to have gained entry to St Mary's Church Hall on Church Lane, Wistaston.

A British Legion poppy collection tin containing donations was taken during the incident.

Officers are now issuing CCTV images of three men they want to speak to in connection with the incident.

Police Constable Tim Clark said: "To take away funds destined for a charity is totally abhorrent and we are doing all we can to find those responsible to bring them to justice.

"A number of enquiries have been ongoing and as part of these we now have CCTV images of three men we believe may have crucial information.

"If you recognise the men, or the men themselves, please get in touch with us."
