Three men arrested and haul of stolen items recovered after burglary at Burnley town centre business premises

Officers from the immediate response team apprehended the culprits soon after the incident was reported.

Three men were arrested on suspicion of burglary and handling stolen goods and the majority of the stolen items were recovered.

A spokesman for Burnley Police said: "Hopefully this stands as a stark reminder to the criminals of East Lancashire that burglary won't be tolerated and accepted on our streets.

"Businesses have struggled enough during the current climate and the hard working people of Burnley don't deserve having their livelihoods affected by the small minority who look to steal and bring misery to innocent, hard working people.

"We will continue to target and disrupt anyone involved in serious crime and encourage members of the public to continue to report anything suspicious to us, no matter how small it may appear,l as it may lead to something bigger."
