The two youths arrested were later interviewed by police and admitted their parts in the theft.

PC McCoombes, of Greater Manchester Police’s Wigan West team, said: “The juveniles have since been dealt with by way of an out of court disposal which includes a formal caution and restorative work.

"The property, including four parcels, contained a kilogram bag of Jelly Babies, chocolates, some biscuits and a tyre wrench.”

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police on 101.
