POLICE swooped on a house in Gerrards Cross as part of a nationwide investigation into a theft of mobile phones at a warehouse near Heathrow Airport.
Residents were shocked last Thursday evening, as police raided the property in Latchmoor Way, following the theft two weeks ago.
Police from the Surrey Constabulary, leading the investigation, also raided houses in Slough, Staines and Loughborough.
In June, an armed gang allegedly forced their way into the warehouse, near Heathrow, and stole £3 million worth of mobile phones.
Diane Whiting, police spokesman, said: "Surrey police did make a series of raids across the country.
"We are continuing to raid properties in the Home Counties following the theft of thousands of mobile telephones."
Police remained at the house overnight.
Police said Rajinder Singh Sahota, 31, a car salesman of Latchmoor Way, Gerrards Cross, has been charged along with seven other men with conspiracy to handle stolen goods. He was remanded in custody and will appear at Staines Magistrates Court on Monday.
