A 43-year-old man is set to appear in court tomorrow following a number of thefts of war medals from Blakemere Craft Centre. 

The man, from the Bolton area, has been charged with several thefts from an antique unit at the centre in Sandiway, and will appear at Chester Magistrates Court. 

A number of antique units had been targeted in late July this year.

A spokesman for Northwich Police said: "The glass display cabinets had been forced open and war medals and jewellery, including first world war medals, were stolen.

"Unfortunately, none of the stolen items have been recovered."
