Three men jailed following burglary at Disley home
The group targeted luxury vehicles during the break-in
Three men have been sentenced for their involvement in a burglary at a home in Disley, which resulted in the theft of luxury vehicles.
Connor Wrigley, 21, and Thomas Wood, 24, from Macclesfield, were both jailed at Chester Crown Court after pleading guilty to burglary.
Wrigley was sentenced to four years in prison, which includes the activation of a one-year suspended sentence.
Wood received a sentence of two years and three months.
Ryan Howarth, 22, from Dukinfield, received a sentence of 15 months, suspended for two years, after admitting to handling stolen property.
The court heard that in the early hours of 5th July 2025, Wrigley and Wood forced entry into a home on Orford Avenue, stealing keys to two Mercedes vehicles parked outside.
The pair fled the scene in the luxury cars, heading towards Stockport.
Police investigations, involving CCTV and ANPR footage, identified Wrigley and Wood as the main suspects.
They were later arrested in Salford on 8th July 2025, where officers discovered mobile phones, designer clothing, and the keys to one of the stolen cars.
Analysis of the phones unveiled images of Wood with the stolen vehicle keys and evidence of Wrigley attempting to sell the cars.
Messages revealed Howarth's involvement in transporting one of the stolen vehicles to West Yorkshire.
One of the cars was eventually recovered in Dukinfield with cloned number plates.
Police Constable Benjamin Dickinson said:
“Burglary is a horrific offence, and we’re committed to using all the tools available to us to ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their actions."
"The impact burglary can have on a victim should never be underestimated. The effect on victims can be long-lasting and even lead to some wanting to move house once their safe space has been violated by these thieves."
"I hope that the sentences handed to Wood, Wrigley and Howarth will provide some closure to the victim and also provide reassurance to the local community.”
Detective Sergeant Laura Fox, of Macclesfield Proactive CID, added:
"Wrigley and Wood deliberately targeted this address to steal high-powered vehicles, taking away the victim’s sense of security before flaunting their gains, showing not only their disregard for the law but their desire to gain attention and status from their actions."
"The dedication and relentless pursuit by the team here at Macclesfield Proactive CID was instrumental in holding Wrigley, Wood and Howarth to account and securing justice for the victim in this case."
"The message continues to be clear, if you commit crime in this county, you will be caught and you will be brought to justice."
