At 6.30am yesterday, police said 'offenders' had moved a vehicle from outside the shop before forcing open a wooden garage door and removing metal shutters from a door.

A Lancashire road police spokesman said: "Offenders have moved the aggrieved's vehicle before forcing garage doors and removing roller shutters. Offenders (were) disturbed by police and fled on foot before being detained by Lancashire ARV (armed response vehicle) and Blackpool police."
