Vehicle Crime - 2nd male arrested & charged

We recently told you about an arrest we made in relation to a spate of vehicle crime in Lytham St Annes last month.

This was after several reports of two males captured on CCTV trying car door handles and stealing items from insecure vehicles.

Yesterday, Fylde Rural Task Force arrested a second male in connection with these incidents.

The male, aged 17 from Blackpool, has now been charged with theft from a motor vehicle.

The male will appear at court on the 30th September 2025.

Our investigation is still ongoing with regards to the male arrested last week and we hope to provide you with an update soon.

We hope this offers our community some reassurance that we are taking your reports seriously and that vehicle crime will not be tolerated in Fylde.
