Thugs raided two Accrington town centre shops overnight.



Boots and charity shop Sense were broken into and items stolen from inside.



Police said windows at Poundland and British Heart Foundation were also smashed.



A police spokesman said a window cleaner had alerted them of the damage to the shops at around 7am on Thursday.



PC Gary Brown said: "It has happened some time overnight. There has been damage done to those shops. They stole perfume and aftershave from Boots but then dumped the items around the corner. And they took dvds from Sense and dumped them too."
