Detectives have released a CCTV image captured during a pub burglary.

Two men broke into the Rishton Arms on Station Road and stole a quantity of cash.

An empty safe was later found nearby on Shawbrook Close.

The incident happened between 1am and 2am on Thursday, February 13 and the unknown offenders also caused substantial damage to a number of gaming machines.

PC Simon Grounds said: “Our investigation is continuing but we are aware that the offenders spent some time in the area before breaking into the Rishton Arms.

“I would appeal to anybody that recognises the men in the CCTV or saw anybody acting suspiciously around the pub prior to the offence to contact me at Lancashire Police on 101 quoting log number 79 of February 13.”
