Wilmslow Police are advising people to be vigilant following another spate of distraction thefts.
An iPhone was stolen from a coffee shop in Wilmslow town centre on Monday, 15th September.
Following this incident two more iPhones were stolen from the Macclesfield area.
All offenders have been described as Eastern European males and females.
Theft of mobile phones is becoming an increasing problem, not only locally but nationally, and police are advising people to keep their phones hidden in their bag or pocket and never leave them on the table in a cafe or bar.
Inspector Steve Griffiths said "Members of public should keep their phones out of view because they are making it too easy to steal. iPhones are worth around £400 so they will continue to be targetted. The phones can be replaced but contacts , sentimental pictures and videos stored on them can't be replaced."
If you notice anyone acting suspiciously, please call Wilmslow Police on 101, alternatively information can also be given anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
