A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "The businesses targeted have mainly been local small businesses and we fully understand the impact offences like this can have on such businesses.

"Cash has been the main target during these offences so we would like to remind business owners to avoid keeping cash on the premises where possible and not make it easy for thieves."
