Police appeal after high value shoplifting ‘likely from shops between Barrow and Garstang’

Police are appealing appeal for information after two men were arrested in connection with high value shoplifting offences.

On Wednesday, (July 2), officers from Lancashire Police's Specialist Operations unit stopped a Honda Civic car in Longridge.

Seized from the car were 11 bin bags which contained electronic goods, cosmetics, hardware, pens, clothing, and food items.

Police suspect all the property was stolen from shops in Cumbria and Lancashire, likely between Barrow-in-Furness and Garstang.

The property is of high value - several thousand pounds worth - and police are looking to reunited stores with their goods.

If any stores between Barrow-in-Furness and Garstang suspect goods were stolen on July 3, they can contact 101, quoting log 0760 of 3rd July 2024.

A 39-year-old man from Wiltshire was arrested on suspicion of theft and handling stolen goods, and a 34-year-old man from London, was arrested on suspicion of theft.

Both have been released on bail with conditions.
