Rishton: Local burglars caught in the act

Over the course of Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th July, the Petre Estate has been a target for vehicle and property crime. A second Rishton burglar was caught in the act in Clayton Le Moors.

A police report sent to the Rishton Councillors stated that the offenders have now been caught and stolen items recovered. They have both been charged with over eleven offences and were remanded to appear in court on Monday 21st July.

Rishton Councillor, Ken Moss, said, "This is a good result for our local police. We have had a crime wave recently, largely believed to have been caused by a small number of individuals, so the fact that they have been caught will be a relief to many."

He added, "Information is key to solving crimes and catching people. Please do get in touch if you have any information, everything will be treated in confidence."
