Police are now urging a second man, Leroy Allen, to come forward.

PC Paul Moseley said: “Cairns handed himself in due to the pressure from our social media appeal, which underlines the vital part the public play in helping the police with their enquiries.

"Thank you to everyone who shared this appeal.”

Allen, 33, is described as mixed race, 5ft 7ins and of medium build with brown eyes and short cropped hair.

He has links to the Moor Nook, Grange, Brookfield and New Hall Lane/Ribbleton areas of Preston.
