Police are asking for help to identify a group of men in relation to an investigation into a high-value burglary.
A group of around 18 people forced their way into an industrial compound on Global Way, Darwen, on May 20 and made off with around £90,000 worth of e-cigarettes and vapes.
The offenders arrived in three vehicles – two vans and a car – and used the vans to take the stock away, leaving in the direction of Lower Eccleshill Road.
Anyone who recognises the men should get in touch with police, and they are also still seeking information on three vehicles they would like to trace. They are:
- A white Transit van, registration number ST57 RKF
- A white Iveco van, registration number BU07 LAA
- A grey Volkswagen Golf, registration number HX67 HCH
PC Kathryn Egan, of Lancashire Police’s east division, said: “Our enquiries are very much ongoing and we would like to speak to these men as part of our investigation. If you recognise them, please get in touch with us.
“Similarly, if you can help us trace the vehicles used in the incident, we want to hear from you.
“Finally, if you were in the area of Global Way in between 6.00pm and 6.20pm on May 20, we ask to you please cast your minds back and let us know if you saw anything suspicious, and to check your dashcam, CCTV, or doorbell footage to see if you captured anything.”
