THIEVES brought home the bacon after a raid on the Kwik Save store in Accrington Road, Burnley.

Four men went into the shop and while two distracted a security guard their accomplices grabbed 60 bacon packs and various packets of biscuits before all the men scattered in different directions.

Two of the thieves are described as white, in their late 20s, between 5ft 9in and 5ft 11in and slim with brown, greasy, untidy hair. Both had stubble and wore dirty blue jeans and blue fleece tops.
