A FAMILY pet prevented thieves from burgling a house in Adlington.
The attempted break-ins took place in The Avenue area of the village between 6.30pm on Friday, December 12, and noon on Saturday, December 13.
Thieves tried to get into the semi-detached property by smashing a lounge window, but were scared away by the family's large dog.
They then tried to get in through the front door, but were again scared off by the animal.
