A group of burglars are running from the law after stealing 2,000 boxes of trainers worth £250,000 during a ‘well organised’ raid in Heywood.
This incident occurred overnight between February 12 and 13, when unknown offenders broke into a vacant warehouse in an industrial unit off Pilsworth Road.
They removed bricks from an internal wall in order to steal approximately 2,000 boxes of trainers from an adjoining warehouse.
The trainers, by ‘Creative Recreation’ are in both black and white and of various sizes.
