Large amount of cash taken as burglars target house, CCTV issued: Blackburn
(BB1 - Monday, 30 January, 2012)

Police have issued CCTV images of two men they want to speak with after cash was stolen during a burglary at an address in Blackburn last month.

The offence took place around 3.10pm on 2nd December 2011 at an address on Regents View, in Blackburn when two Asian men approached a house shortly after the occupier left.

The offenders knocked at the address to confirm the property was empty before going to the back of the premises where they smashed a glass panel in the back door and forced an internal door to gain entry.

The offenders searched the address and stole a large amount of cash before making off.

PC Andy Ronga from Eastern Target Team said:

"We believe this house has been deliberately targeted and an investigation is underway to find the men responsible.

"I would urge people to take a close look at the CCTV images and if they recognise either of the men, please come forward."

The first offender is described as:

• an Asian male
• wearing a dark blue Nike jacket with the hood up, grey tracksuit bottoms and gloves

The second offender is described as:

• an Asian male
• wearing a dark coloured hooded top with a light blue hood with white draw strings
