Police have recovered an £11,000 caravan from a site in Morecambe, after it was stolen from Garstang last year.

Caravan owners are now being asked to make sure they have security measures in place so that their property is not targeted by criminals.

Detective Sergeant Simon Ingham, from the Stolen Vehicle Squad, said: “Caravan crime in Lancashire is the lowest it has ever been but we would still urge owners to make sure that caravans are stored securely and that they fit appropriate security devices.

“This particular recovery shows that Lancashire Police continue to actively search for stolen caravans and if you are found with one in your possession it will be taken off you and given back to the rightful owner.”

Inquiries into the stolen caravan are ongoing.

• Anyone with information about caravan theft is asked to contact police on 0845 1 25 35 45 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
