Local police are examining CCTV footage

Ingram Micro’s UK head office was the subject of a burglary earlier this week, local police have confirmed.

Criminals gained entry to the distributor’s Milton Keynes premises early on Tuesday morning by smashing a large window, then took a range of promotional goods.

The crime was logged at 1.40am.

At least some of the goods stolen are believed to have been part of a promotional display Ingram was running with vendor Logitech.

A representative for Thames Valley Police confirmed that two games consoles, a television, a computer hard drive and some cables were among the goods taken.

“We are looking at CCTV footage and have done house-to-house enquiries,” the representative added. “It is very early days and there are no suspects as yet.”

Cathi Low, value business director at Ingram Micro UK, said: “We did have a break-in at our Milton Keynes facility. We're cooperating with the local police, and given that an investigation is ongoing, we can't disclose any more details at this time.”
