POLICE are investigating a shameful burglary at a community library and Post Office.
An offender or multiple offenders damaged Burtonwood Library to gain access over the weekend, between the Chapel Lane location closing and reopening.
The Post Office merged with the library after moving into the building in May 2018.
Once inside, the perpetrators searched postal bags before fleeing the scene empty handed.
A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: “At 8.46am on Monday, June 19, police were called to reports of a burglary at Burtonwood Library.
“Sometime between 1pm on Saturday, June 17, and 8.46am on Monday, June 19, an unknown person or persons removed a panel and gained entry into the premises, which also houses the post office.
“Once inside, the offenders opened a number of postal bags containing paperwork before leaving empty handed.”
Enquiries in relation to the incident are ongoing, and anyone with any information is asked to call Cheshire Police on 101, quoting IML-1576118, or visit cheshire.police.uk/tell-us
