A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of three burglary offences in connection with the theft of charity collection boxes on Nantwich Road in Crewe.
One of the offences was at Butters John Bee Estate Agents, another was at Eric Bailey Butchers on October 27, and a third at Princess Takeaway on October 26.
The suspect, from Crewe, remains in police custody and is being questioned, say Cheshire Police.
Two charity boxes were stolen from Butters John Bee – one for The Royal British Legion and one for Magic Moments The Children’s Charity.
The boxes are believed to have contained approximately £80.
PC John Warren, of Crewe Police, is appealing for witnesses.
HE said: “We are currently following a number of lines of enquiry and I want to hear from anyone with any information which may help our investigation.
