Lancaster police are appealing for people to come forward with information after a cash machine was targeted on Lune Industrial Estate this week.

The incident took place overnight between Thursday 29th September into Friday 30th September when offenders entered a number of yards belonging to business premises on Lune Industrial Estate, to the side of the Spar shop on Willow Lane.

They smashed a number of bricks in the wall of the building that houses the ATM, in what appears to be an attempt to attack the machine, although it appears that nothing has been stolen.
