Operation Ambler - Albanian crime gang jailed following UK wide burglary series

Operation Ambler began in 2024, when detectives in Macclesfield became aware of a series of similar burglaries across the eastern part of our county. Working with ‪@derbyshirepolice‬, ‪@nottinghampolice‬ ‪@staffordshirepoliceofficial‬ our investigation quickly widened to cover at least 44 burglaries right across the UK - with the total value of items stolen in this spree valued in excess of £1 million. Months of detailed investigation, ANPR, telecoms work, footprint analysis and more led our detectives to six individuals - five of which have now been sent to prison for more than 38 years. This look behind the scenes of our investigation will show you how Operation Ambler progressed - from the first 999 calls to sentencing today.
