"After making enquiries it became clear that the car had been stolen from the driveway of a property in Lower Lane in Freckleton.

"Patrols are actively looking for the car which has the registration number WV63GHG.

"We would ask members of the public to look out for the Mitsubishi and to report any sightings to the police on 101 quoting log ref 0120 17/03/17."
