Crime statistics from Neighbourhood Watch for the past week have revealed that Marple saw the lowest number of incidents in the borough.

The burglary of a garden shed was the only reported incident for the area.

Reddish, Offerton, Cheadle and Bramhall were similarly low, with each beat reporting two incidents each.

It comes not long after Marple reported no incidents at all earlier in the year. A spokesperson for Neighbourhood Watch said: "I personally cannot ever remember that being the case for a full set of beats."

Neighbourhood Watch collects crime data from police forces across the Stockport area each week.
