Police are appealing for information following two burglaries at the same address in Blackpool.



The incidents happened in the Lune Grove area of Blackpool on two separate occasions.

The first offence took place between 21:00hrs on Sunday 24th December and 07:00hrs on Monday 25th December 2017 when a woman in her 60s was asleep in bed. The offender broke into her property and left with her handbag, a number of Christmas presents and some jewellery which is of sentimental value.

The second offence took place at the same property at around 04:00hrs on New Year’s Day. The offender has forced entry into the property and made contact with the victim, asking for money, before leaving with items of food.

Police are now trying to trace the offender who is described as a white male, in his 40s with dark grey hair.

DC Jones of Lancashire Police, said: “This is a despicable crime and we'd urge anyone with information to come forward.”
Anyone with information, or who saw anything suspicious in the area is asked to contact police on 01253 607066, or by emailing 3255@lancashire.pnn.police.uk quoting log number LC-20180101-0798.
