A BUSINESS in Billington Road Industrial Estate in Burnley has had brickwork tampered with, which police believe was done in an attempt to expose the alarm wiring.

Officers believe this happened on Monday or Tuesday, and are now encouraging businesses to check their building and alarm wiring to prevent firms being targeted by thieves.

Keith Sandham, Pennine Watch Liaison Officer, said: “If you suspect tampering to your alarm system, be sure to let us know by reporting it to the police.”

Anyone who witnessed or heard anything suspicious in the area should call police on 101.
