More businesses have been targeted by burglars in Lancaster city centre.
Among them is Forty Five Records, in Kings Arcade, that was hit overnight, with the front window of the premises smashed to gain entry.
In a statement, the owners of the store said: ‘’Unfortunately we will be closed today as we’ve had a break in, as some other shops have also had last night.
‘’We’re absolutely gutted but we move forward. We’ll keep you posted with when we’re back open.’’
Martin Collins and Liz Crane opened Forty Five Records in Kings Arcade last November, selling new and pre-owned vinyls, covering many genres and artists, wall art and other products.
The incident mirrors similar burglaries that have occurred in recent weeks in Lancaster.
Speaking to Beyond Radio earlier this month, Det Insp Adie Knowles of Lancaster Police, speaking on Beyond Radio, said that "most of them have been a very similar method of smashing front door windows intending to steal floats and tills or alcohol, things they can easily get their hands on".
There was a break-in at the Stonewell Spring Delicatessen and Wine Bar on September 4-5, where offenders climbed over the gate, smashed glass and went into the till drawer.
During the early hours of Monday, September 16, culprits used a rock to smash glass, target the till drawer and steal three bottles of spirits at The Quarterhouse restaurant on Moor Lane in Lancaster.
There were also burglaries at the Marula Monkey cocktail bar and restaurant on Sun Street, and the rear of the former Marco's Italian restaurant on North Road, within around 10 minutes of each other on September 16 just before midnight.
