Possessions stolen from a business premises and homes included a laptop, musical instruments and a charity box.
Geoff Hurst, of Leyland CID, said: “Multiple items of value were taken by both Abbott and North in Lostock Hall during the spring.

“They will now both have the opportunity to reflect on the trouble caused in custody.”
