Cheshire Police have trawled CCTV but yesterday confirmed nobody has been arrested for the raid a year ago.

The gang are thought to have carried out several raids across the area.

Former Met Police detective Peter Bleksley said: “This has all the hallmarks of a gang from South America who came here specifically to burgle.

“They would have achieved their aim and fled a lot wealthier than when they got here.

“They would have left very soon after and would have gone back home.

“It’s possible the property was monitored and watched. It is a very sophisticated crime model.”

It is thought 500 South Americans travel to the UK to carry out burglaries every year.
