CAR owners should be on their guard after a blitz of auto-crime in Great Harwood.
Windows were broken on a dozen cars but no property was stolen in a weekend spate.
Cars were broken into and searched in Garden Street, Hope Street, Croft Street, Meadow Street, Nuttall Avenue, Railway Terrace, Lord Street, Blackburn Old Road, St Hubert's Road, and Noble Street.
Detective Inspector Jim Oldcorn, head of Accrington CID, said: "We would warn car owners that criminals are obviously active in the area."
Because of the spread of the crime the thieves may be using a car. The cars were parked on the street and police are advising owners to alarm vehicles and garage them at night if possible.
On the same night as the other offences, a £2,500 car was taken from the Game Cock Inn, Whalley Road, Great Harwood, and later found burned out.
