Police investigating a burglary in Bare say there have been several recent reports from Morecambe residents who have disturbed an unknown person at their homes.

PCSO Karl Smith, messaging residents on the police's 'Stay in the Know' service, said a property on Bare Lane had been targeted by a burglar at around 8.25pm on Friday.
