We have charged a man following a burglary in South Ribble in which cash was stolen.

It happened on Moorhey Crescent in Penwortham last Friday (11th July 2025). It was reported a suspect had entered the house through an open back door and it was later discovered that £100 in cash had been taken from an upstairs drawer.

Following enquiries by the South Residential Burglary Team, a 34-year-old man was arrested yesterday and we can now tell you that Brendan Duff, 34, of Back Mount Street, Chorley has been charged with burglary in a dwelling. He appeared at Preston Magistrates Court yesterday where he was remanded.

Operation Defender is a force-wide campaign that aims to combat residential burglary with support from Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.
