A HAUL of Christmas presents - including a PS4, a 40-inch TV and a Fortnite game - was stolen in a burglary in Accrington.
Police are now seeking information about the theft, which happened on Monday November 5 at a property in Oswald Street.
The haul of tech items was estimated to be worth more than £1,000 and had taken the family more than a year to save for.
A police spokesman said: "On November 5 between 3pm and 8.15pm a burglary was committed in Accrington in which children's Christmas presents were taken.
"These consisted of the Fortnight Game, a PC and monitor, a Playstation VR Bundle and a 40 inch flat screen TV."
The presents had been bought as gifts for Christmas and according to police it had taken the victim 12 months to save up for the items.
The spokesman added: "The victim doesn't have the funds to replace the gifts which were bought for her children for Christmas and she is desperate for their safe return."
