Prestbury Boutique Burgled Again, £260,000 of Luxury Handbags Taken

Police are reviewing CCTV footage to track the burglars behind the designer handbag raid

Overview

  • On June 8 at around 10:30 pm three intruders drilled through an adjoining wall and entered Dress Cheshire via the chimney stack.
  • The thieves fled with approximately 55 designer bags from brands including Chanel, Gucci, Hermes and Louis Vuitton, valued at about £260,000.
  • This marks the second break-in at the Prestbury boutique in just over a year after an earlier £180,000 heist prompted security upgrades.
