A sixth person has now been charged in connection to a series of high value burglaries across the UK.

Sidorjan Lleshi was arrested on Wednesday, September 3, as more than 30 officers from Cheshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Staffordshire raided two addresses in Sheffield and Stourbridge.

The 26-year-old, of Durlstone Drive, Sheffield, has since been charged with conspiracy to commit burglary and conspiracy to possess criminal property.

He appeared at Chester Magistrates on Thursday, September 4, where he was remanded in custody.

Lleshi is next set to appear at Chester Crown Court on Friday, September 12.

A second man who was arrested during the warrants on Wednesday has been released on conditional bail until Friday, November 28.

Lleshi is the sixth person to be charged as part of operation Ambler, an investigation into a series of high value burglaries led by detectives from Macclesfield Proactive CID.

Four men and a woman were charged earlier this year as part of the same investigation and are due to stand trial at Chester Crown Court on Monday 5 January 2026.

The charges relate to at least 20 burglaries in Cheshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Cleveland. 

Properties targeted in Cheshire include homes in Alderley Edge, Prestbury, Macclesfield, Disley, Weston, Willaston and Whitegate.

Following Wednesday's warrants, Detective Sergeant Laura Fox of Macclesfield CID said: "Burglary is a horrific offence, and we understand the devastating impact that it has on victims, which is why we're committed to doing all we can to tackle the issue.

"The message is clear. No matter where you live, or how much you try to hide, if you commit crime in Cheshire our officers will come for you, and you will be arrested."
