Good evening,

As some of you may be aware we had a report this morning of a motorbike stolen in West Bradford which thankfully had been abandoned and was located a short distance from the address and returned to the owner, the suspect has yet to be identified. 

We have unfortunately seen an increase in the past couple of months of thefts in rural locations and reports of suspicious vehicles particularly in the Newton in Bowland and Dunsop Bridge area, resources have been tasked with patrolling our more rural locations in the hours of darkness

If you do see anything suspicious overnight please contact us on 101 or 999 if you believe a crime to be in progress.

If you have any other concerns or would like to talk to your local officers for reassurance please contact me via In the Know or via email on 5036@lancashire.police.uk.
