We have charged a man following a burglary in South Ribble in which cash was stolen.
It happened on Moorhay Crescent in Penwortham last Friday (11th July 2025). It was reported a suspect had entered the house through an open back door and it was later discovered that £100 in cash had been taken from an upstairs drawer.
Following enquiries by the South Residential Burglary Team, a 34-year-old man was arrested yesterday and we can now tell you that Brendan Duff, 34, of Back Mount Street, Chorley has been charged with burglary in a dwelling. He will appear at Preston Magistrates Court today.
