Two pounce for £120

The lunchtime crime took place in the Waterloo Road postal centre and the two thieves are described as white males in their late teens both with skinheads.

One of the men sported a nose ring and was wearing a waist-length brown leather jacket and jeans while the second wore thick round glasses, a black puffa jacket and black jeans.

Early morning burglars smashed the glass door of a Blackpool corner shop on February 16.

Breaking into the cigarette cabinet inside the Waterloo Road store, the thieves removed property which set off the alarm before being disturbed by a witness. Seen leaving in a black hatchback, possibly a Ford Fiesta with registration number A3L, the men are described as mid 20s with one wearing black Adidas tracksuit bottoms, training shoes and jumper, another blond with gaunt features and wearing beige trousers and a third with a black coat with red stripes and red writing on the rear.

Cheeky thieves broke into a Blackpool carpet showroom in the early hours of February 15 and bagged a quantity of carpet valued at nearly £500. After cutting out and measuring the loot themselves the gang were disturbed by the alarm.

Seen acting suspiciously in the back alley of the Talbot Road showroom were two men in a maroon coloured estate car. The men are described as mid 20s with dark shaved hair with one wearing a navy blue fleece and the other a luminous green fleece both with Nike logos on the rear.

Joyriders stole a silver F reg Ford Granada from outside a Blackpool hotel in the early hours of February 20 before driving less than a mile from Lansdowne Place and crashing the vehicle through a brick wall on Cavendish Road, Bispham.

Three teenage white males were seen running northwards along Warbreck Drive towards Red Bank Road.
