A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: “Please can you see if you recognise the male offender in the video.

“He is responsible for a burglary overnight at The Crown in Morecambe.

“This is a really busy time of year for licensed premises so to have added costs of these types of crimes is not ideal.”
