Det Insp Adie Knowles of Morecambe Police, speaking on Beyond Radio on Tuesday on his regular 'Beyond the Beat' segment, said there had been similar attempts to break in to Pleasureland amusement arcade and the Festival Market.

He said the Pleasureland incident, where someone tried to prise the doors open to get in, happened on Sunday January 12 between 8.30am and 9am.

Someone damaged a lock at the Festival Market trying to get in to the premises, at around 5.15am on January 5.

"It's reasonable to think that it might be the same person going up and down the Prom trying to get into business premises," said Det Insp Knowles.

If you see anything suspicious in the area, please call police. For a crime in progress, call 999. Otherwise, call 101 or Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
