Three men stole more than £38,000 from different retail stores across the North West in just a few weeks.
From February 10 to March 11, 2022, Anthony Hollywood, Anthony Carroll and Daniel Kelly, all from Liverpool, would target stores after closing and "force open" doors with a crowbar. During their month-long spree, the gang stole thousands of pounds from around 10 Co-op and Tesco convenience stores.
Once inside the stores, they would target safes, forcing them open with "sledgehammers and crowbars". Their downfall came when Cheshire Police recovered mobile phone analysis placing the three of them at the scene of a number of incidents.
