Police urging public to be vigilant after Ribble Valley burglary

Burglars targeted the house in Mardale Road on Wednesday in the early hours of the morning.

Officers are asking people who may have seen somebody acting suspiciously in the area, or if they have any information, to call 101 quoting log reference LC-20210113-0099.

In addition, there have been people spotted trying car doors during the last couple of days in the Alston ward of Longridge.

PCSO Will Hayes said: "The offenders targeting the vehicles appear to be opportunists; they are not breaking and entering it seems, but rather going from vehicle to vehicle to see if they’re unlocked.

"There are steps that you can take to make your homes and property more secure. Please ensure that you are doing the obvious stuff in securing your cars and home, storing your car in a garage if possible.

"Again, if you see anything suspicious, please call on 101.

"This message is not sent with the intention of alarming you, but rather to ask you to remain vigilant and let us know if you see anything you deem to be suspicious. Enquiries are ongoing, and we will continue to show a highly visible presence in the area.
