Sergeant Graham Siddall, of GMP's South District Tasking Team, said: "Being the victim of a burglary is a really upsetting experience. We have the right to feel safe and know our belongings are safe, especially in our own homes.

"Whilst we have arrested a number of suspects, enquiries are ongoing and our fight against burglary continues whilst proactive teams focus on preventing and reducing this type of crime. Anyone with information should contact police or Crimestoppers, anonymously.
