Phone box stolen from Cheshire village
The old-style box was taken from Chelford
Police are investigating following the theft of an old-style red phone box from a Cheshire village.
Sometime between 2.30pm and 3pm on 13 July a phone box was removed from a garden in Chelford Road. The box belongs to Chelford Parish Council.
Police say a white Ford transit van was seen dropping off a skip and then three men using a digger removed the box and asked a member of public to guard the live electric cables which had been exposed while they contacted the energy network to make it safe. The men never returned.
PC John Milman said: “We’ve been making a number of enquiries in the area and are keen to speak to anyone who recognises the man in this image as he may be able to help us with our enquiries. I’d also appeal for the man to come forward to assist us with our investigation.”
Anyone with information should contact Cheshire police on the 101 number.
Information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
