FOUR youths were arrested after being spotted acting suspiciously around industrial units in Burnley on Saturday, around 9pm.
Members of the public contacted police, who arrested three teenagers, aged around 15 and 16.
A fourth suspect climbed on to the roof and the fire service were called, but he came down voluntarily shortly afterwards.
Inspector Phil Broughton said: “It appears they were looking in empty skips for bits of rubbish.
"There hasn’t been a break-in reported, but we are making inquiries.”
