Crime Update……..

Following on from reports of burglaries and thefts from vehicles in the Stoops/Rossendale Road areas of Burnley, your neighbourhood policing team have been making enquiries and on Saturday 24th May have made an arrest. We have since interviewed and charged Wayne Roberts, 44, of no fixed abode, with one offence of burglary and three offences of interference with a motor vehicle. Wayne has been remanded in custody and will appear before magistrates on Monday morning.

Inspector Matt Plummer from the Burnley Neighbourhood Policing Team said "Those who commit offences such as burglary and theft from members of the community will be robustly targeted by my team, as they cause misery and upset to those people who work hard for their possessions. I would urge anyone who is victim to such an offence to report it to us in order that we can track down those responsible.
