THIS is a CCTV image of a man police would like to speak to in relation to a red phone box being stolen in Chelford.

The box, that belongs to Chelford Parish Council, was removed without permission from a garden in Chelford Road using a digger.

This was sometime between 2.30pm and 3pm on July 13 when three men asked a member of public to guard the live electric cables which had been exposed while they contacted the energy network to make it safe. The men never returned.

PC John Milman said: “We’ve been making a number of enquiries in the area and are keen to speak to anyone who recognises the man in this image as he may be able to help us with our enquiries. I’d also appeal for the man to come forward to assist us with our investigation.”

Anyone with information should contact Cheshire police on 101 quoting IML 1036485.
