Police are appealing for witnesses and footage after a car was deliberately driven into a house in Great Harwood.

Officers were called to Reed Avenue at 12.56am today, Sunday (25^th May) following reports a grey Nissan Juke had been deliberately reversed into a house multiple times and was still in situ.

When they arrived officers found the Nissan had been driven a significant way into the living room of the property, causing substantial damage. There was nobody inside the property at the time.

Nobody has been arrested at this time, however enquiries are very much ongoing.

While work is ongoing to understand the motivation for this attack, police are treating this as an isolated incident. Reassurance patrols have been increased in the area as a precaution.

DI Heather Martin, of East CID said: “I understand that neighbours will be shocked and concerned by this incident and I want to reassure the Great Harwood community that we have a dedicated team of officers assigned to this case who are determined to identify those involved and bring them to justice.

“Residents will see officers in the area throughout the day carrying out enquiries. Feel free to approach them and pass on any information or concerns to them.

“Any witnesses or anyone with CCTV, dashcam or mobile phone footage which captured the Nissan Juke in the area before or during the incident is asked to make contact with us. Similarly, we want to hear from anyone with footage which captures anyone running from the area.”
