At the Cheadle Area Committee meeting, Inspector Dave Turner reported good news on burglary.  Three arrests have been made of known burglars in the Cheadle and Gatley area, with the burglary rate dropping sharply as a result.

Of the three, one has been convicted and is in prison.  One was convicted and given a non-custodial sentence, and is receiving nightly visits from the police.  The third is awaiting trial.

Inspector Turner also mentioned a cannabis factory having been found on South Park Road in Gatley.  It held around 250 plants, which was estimated at a street value of £25,000.

Inspector Turner spoke of a heavy police presence at Halloween a few days ago, and that it seemed to have passed relatively peacefully.
