UK COMPUTERS STOLEN FROM MEDICAL CENTRE News - Leyland Today: News, Sport, Jobs, Property, Cars, Entertainments & More: "L3,500 PCs stolen from surgery
POLICE are hunting thieves who broke into Worden Medical Centre, on West Paddock, Leyland.
A rear window was smashed and the offenders climbed inside on Sunday evening and snatched a number of computers, despite triggering the alarm system at around 7.50pm.
Police arrived at the scene after being contacted by the alarm company, but the thieves had made off.
They escaped with 10 Dell flat-screen monitors and four Dell tower systems, valued at ?3,500.
Det Sgt John Wilkinson, of Leyland CID, said: 'The thieves were not deterred by the alarm system which was triggered when they broke in, and the amount of items that was taken suggests that a vehicle would have been used.
'We would appeal to anyone who was in the area and saw anyone suspicious to get in touch.
'Similarly, if anyone has seen a suspicious vehicle in the vicinity we would like them to get in contact with us.
'This is a busy medical centre and the theft could have caused problems for the staff and patients.'
Worden Medical Centre, operated by the Chorley and South Ribble Primary Care Trust, was open for business as usual this week despite the theft.
A spokesman for the PCT, said: 'I can confirm that there was a break in at Worden Medical Centre over the weekend and that relatively inexpensive equipment was taken.
'However, this did not interfere with the running of the centre in any way and it has been a case of business as usual all week.'"
