Burglary forces closure of fishing tackle shop

[Elton]

A fishing tackle shop has been forced to close after a burglary wiped out most of its stock.

 

Thieves stole more than 75 per cent of the supplies at Heaps of Tackle, in Rainhall Road, Barnoldswick.

Never good news when something like this happens, but something springs immediately to mind: to break in, then steal / remove '75%' of the stock from a tackle shop must have taken many hands / much time and sizeable transport - it was hardly a ram-raiding type affair.

 

I know Barnoldswick is a relatively sleepy place (I've a friend lives there), but in this age of security cameras hidden everywhere, how was this not seen as it happened, and acted upon?
