Sgt Gary Hennighan, of Burnley Police, said: “This is a reminder to people not to leave items of value – particularly cash cards and money inside cars, especially on show.

“People need to be vigilant around looking after cash cards, especially those with contactless capability because, if stolen and not noticed, criminals can quickly rack up the spending.”
