Burglary nets items worth thousands of pounds
Morecambe Police Station.
A 2ft tall plastic Postman Pat figure filled with coins was amongst over £10,000 worth of items stolen in a house burglary.
The burglary is believed to have taken place sometime between 4.30pm and 8pm on Wednesday, January 9, at an address on West End Road, Morecambe.
Police said the offenders drove up to the house and parked on the empty driveway at the side of the property before forcing their way in through the garage.
They then used a garden hose to force entry through some patio doors and gain access to the main house.
Detective Sergeant Kathryn Riley said: “This was a high value burglary whereby distinctive and expensive jewellery was stolen and we believe there is a possibility that the house was deliberately targeted.
“Also of note was the theft of a 2ft tall plastic postman pat figure containing a large amount of coins.
“This was very heavy and there is evidence of drag marks at the rear of the premises.
“I’m hoping that someone might have seen this Postman Pat figure.
“Understandably the victims are very distressed as a lot of the property stolen was jewellery which has a lot of sentimental value, including wedding rings.”
Items stolen include a large sum of cash, a laptop, DVDs and a large quantity of XBox games.
