A thief has been jailed for 12 months following a string of burglaries in Accrington . Robin Connolly of Corporation Street was arrested and charged with four burglaries and three shoplifting offences. On Friday, December 2024 the 34-year-old appeared before Blackburn Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to the charges. Connolly was then sentenced to 12 months in prison.

This is the force's response to shoplifting across the county, backed by Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw and the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime (LANPAC). Local Neighbourhood Inspector, Peter Norris, said: “This is a great result which shows how seriously we're tackling retail crime. Connolly has had a big impact on several Accrington businesses in the run up to Christmas and his sentence reflects that. “Accrington Neighbourhood officers have been working hard to tackle these issues, and our results are only achievable with the support of the staff from the retail stores.
