Break ins and attempted break ins in the area

We are investigating a series of break ins and attempted break ins which we know have caused some concern in the area.

We received multiple seperate reports of burglary or attempted burglary which happened between midnight and 4am on Monday (9th November)

It was reported that two people - thought to be male - were trying door handles on a number of properties in the Ormskirk and Burscough areas.

Thankfully the suspects didn't manage to gain entry to most of the properties but did manage to enter the porch of one of the properties although nothing was stolen.

We know that reports of burglaries cause concern in communities and we want to reassure you that we have a dedicted team of officers investigating.

Please make sure that you are locking and securing your property.

If you see anything suspicious please call us on 101, or 999 in the case of an emergency.
