Morecambe Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “The majority of the buildings are four to five stories high which makes it even more concerning. There has been damage caused on several roofs which we are investigating.“We have visited several sites and have noticed ladders left in situ at the base of the scaffolding.

"Please can we ask that the ladders are taken down and secured away from view when you aren’t on site, and that you make the scaffolding as secure as possible to prevent anyone from climbing it.
