Alert message sent 23/02/2021 19:06:00

Information sent on behalf of Lancashire Constabulary

DETECTIVES investigating after a man broke in to a house and indecently exposed himself have made an arrest.

We were called at around 1.35am on Monday, February 22nd to reports of a break-in at an address on New Lane, Burscough.

Officers attended and found a man had entered the address before being disturbed.
He left but a short time later was seen touching himself inappropriately outside the same address before making off.

Following a number of enquiries officers this afternoon arrested a 29-year-old man on suspicion of trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence. The man, of no fixed address, is currently in custody.

The victims continue to be supported by officers.

Detective Inspector Pete Reil, of South CID, said: â€œWhile we have made an arrest our investigation is still ongoing and I would continue to appeal to anyone who has any information to get in touch. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has come forward and spoken to us so far â€“ the information and support of the community has been invaluable.â€

Anybody with information is asked to call 101, quoting log 84 of February 22nd. Alternatively contact independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
