Two 'despicable' brothers burgled 33 homes across Lancashire, some while the owners were at work in local takeaways. Amongst the properties targeted by the pair were ones in Haslingden and Edenfield, as well as a branch of Booths supermarket.

Brian Mooney and Michael Mooney admitted their involvement in two burglary sprees, the first in 2021 and early 2022, the second between late 2022 and February 2024.

In the first spate of burglaries, homes of people working in food takeaway businesses were targeted. A dozen properties were targeted, all when the householders were out working at food takeaways – that indicating a high degree of planning.
