Two men wearing dark clothing and face coverings entered the garden of a property in East Square, Longton, at around 3am on Tuesday (August 16). A concerned resident called 999 after seeing the two offenders leaving the property. Officers were deployed from the recently reinstated station in Leyland and quickly apprehended the suspects. The pair, aged 16 and 17, were subsequently charged with theft and criminal damage. They will appear at Preston Youth Court on September 20.
