A MAN has been charged with burgling five Northwich businesses in just two days, as well as attempting to burgle a further three.

Richard Ennis, of Beaufort Close, Hartford, was arrested on Friday, and charged with a series of burglaries at business premises which occurred between June 1 and 2.

The 44-year-old is suspected of burgling a pub in Chesterway, a garage in Marston Lane, and Bombay Quay Indian restaurant in Northwich Quay, London Road, on June 1.

On the same date he is said to have attempted to burgle a petrol station in Manchester Road, a retail store in Witton Street, and a café in Chapel Street, Wincham.

Ennis is also suspected of burgling a dentist in Middlewich Road and a bar at Moss Farm on June 2.

He has been remanded in custody and is set to appear at Crewe Magistrates’ Court today, Saturday, June 3.

Ennis is also charged with breaching bail, relating to the incident at Bombay Quay; he previously pleaded guilty to an earlier break-in at the restaurant on May 9 and was banned from entering the restaurant as part of bail conditions.

He is due to be sentenced for this previous offence on June 9.
