POLICE are hoping to reunite a haul of stolen goods with the owners after a house raid by officers.

A selection of items were recovered after police swooped at an address in Shadsworth, Blackburn.

A 37-year-old man was arrested and released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Police believe the items were taken from a series of shed and garage burglaries in and around the Shadsworth area.

Among the haul was an orange British Eagle bike, a number of drills and two distinctive black UHL sport bags, which could be used to carry either football kits or the footballs themselves. Both bags were empty.

Police hope an appeal will match the owners with the goods.

It follows a successful police appeal through the Lancashire Evening Telegraph after boxing gloves and kit was stolen.

The owner has now contacted police and is due to make a statement.

If anybody thinks they own any of the property they should contact detective constable Steven Dowson on 01254.
