| Three men have been sentenced after string of burglaries and vehicle thefts.
In the early morning of 11 March 2026, Manchester’s central neighbourhood team executed five search warrants as part of the investigation, which saw several properties targeted in and throughout January.
Officers visited five addresses as part of their enquiries – one in Cheshire, one in West Yorkshire, and two in Greater Manchester, in the areas of Wythenshawe and Stretford.
Within the Frodsham area of Cheshire, a chop-shop was located, in which cars were having their parts removed to be sold on for illicit gain.
Joel Wolfenden, Kamran Khan and Graham Cooke, were subsequently arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary.
Across the searches eight vehicles were recovered on suspicion of being stolen.
