Witness appeal after
burglary at Aughton Park Station, Ormskirk
THE British Transport Police is
appealing for information after an office at Aughton Park Railway Station,
Ormskirk, was broken into and cash stolen from a safe inside. The burglary took
place shortly before 2am on Thursday, 23 July 2015. Investigating Officer
DC Dominic Wilcox said:- "At around 1.50am, 2 men approached the entrance
door to the station office and tried to force their way inside. After repeated
attempts they headed to the rear of the station office and gained entry by
removing a metal grill and a window unit. Once inside they smashed open the safe
and took an amount of cash. Before leaving they sprayed cleaning fluid across
the floor and desks. CCTV shows that a couple of hours prior to the burglary, 1
of the same 2 men disabled the alarm system to the station office so that it
would not activate when they returned."
Both men were wearing hoods, one was wearing Nike tracksuit bottoms and a white
or grey snood and the other a North Face coat. Officers urge anyone who has
information about the burglary to come forward immediately to assist with their
enquiries. Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport
Police on:- 0800 40 50 40, or text:- 61016, quoting reference PSUB/B12 of
21/08/2015. Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent
charity Crimestoppers on:- 0800 555 111.
