Three men have been charged and are due to appear in court following a high-value robbery in Blackburn.
The incident occurred just before 9am yesterday (June 12) when three people threatened a member of staff at a premises in Thornley Avenue and made off in a van with tens of thousands of pounds worth of items.
The van was stopped shortly after on Hereford Road and the stolen items were recovered.
Michael Moore, 32, of Pilmuir Road; Samson Young, 37, of Aqueduct Road; and Liam Cumberland, 37, of Cleveleys Road, have since been charged with robbery.
The trio are due to appear at Blackburn Magistrates' Court today.
