Over 100 designer handbags stolen in burglary in Alderley Edge, Cheshire
The victim is offering a £10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and a conviction, according to Cheshire Constabulary.
The stolen bags, which include bespoke ones made by the luxury brand Hermes, were taken from a property in Alderley Edge - a village home to several Premier League footballers and known for featuring in reality TV programme The Real Housewives of Cheshire.
Police were called to the property on Macclesfield Road on Monday - but detectives believe the incident took place a week earlier.
The force said rare and one-of-a-kind handbags were among the items taken.
"On Monday 17 February between 7pm and 11pm, unknown offenders gained access to the side of the property using a ladder and entered through a skylight," a police spokesperson said.
"The offenders are believed to have left the property along Macclesfield Road."
Jewellery and a gold watch were also taken, the force added.
The £10,000 reward is being offered through the unnamed victim's insurance company.
Police are also appealing for information and witnesses following the raid.
Detective Sergeant Laura Fox said in a statement: "Our enquiries are ongoing, and we would urge anyone who witnessed this incident or saw anything suspicious to get in touch with us.
"The same goes for anyone with dashcam footage or CCTV which might aid our investigation.
"We also want to hear from anyone who thinks they may have information regarding the whereabouts of the items that were stolen."

One theory detectives are said to be investigating is that the gang may have gone onto an online selling agents' to scope the house's floorplan before embarking on the raid. A source told The Sun: 'It was clearly organised. The raiders must have known the house was empty.'

Redknapp was reportedly at a function that evening, while his wife was in London. A spokesman for the former Spurs, West Ham and Portsmouth manager said Harry doesn't 'want to make a fuss' and that it is 'a matter for the police'.

Paqueta cleared of spot-fixing charges West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta is looking forward to playing football 'with a smile on his face' again after four spot-fixing charges against him which could have effectively finished his career were found not proven. The Brazilian has been under investigation since August 2023, with the Football Association charging him in May 2024 with four alleged breaches of Rule E5.1, which relates to any attempt to improperly influence any aspect of a match. It was alleged he deliberately attempted to receive a card in four Premier League games between November 2022 and August 2023. He learned the outcome on Friday, and for Paqueta the decision has lifted a huge weight from his shoulders. 'Since the first day of this investigation, I have maintained my innocence against these extremely serious accusations,' he said. 'I can't say anything more at this time, but I would like to express how grateful I am to God and how eager I am to return to playing football with a smile on my face. 'To my wife who never let go of my hand, to West Ham United, to the fans who always cheered me on, and to my family, friends and the legal team who have supported me – thank you for everything.'
