Three teenagers have been arrested after a house was burgled and two vehicles were stolen in Skelmersdale.
Police were called at around 5.50am on Wednesday, November 4, following reports that offenders had entered a property on Yewdale in the early hours.
Two sets of car keys were reportedly taken from the property before two vehicles parked outside were stolen.
One of the vehicles was recovered nearby a short time later.
The second vehicle, a Seat Ateca, was later spotted being driven in the area and, following a short police pursuit, collided with a lamp post on Heversham.
Police said one person fled from the vehicle through the sunroof, while three others were detained at the scene.
A 15-year-old boy from Skelmersdale was arrested on suspicion of burglary, taking a vehicle without the owner's consent, dangerous driving and driving without insurance.
A 16-year-old boy from Chorley and a 16-year-old boy from Skelmersdale were both arrested on suspicion of burglary and aggravated vehicle taking.
The arrests form part of Operation Defender, Lancashire Constabulary's force-wide campaign targeting residential burglary.
