Car 'deliberately reversed into house multiple times' - but reason is a mystery

An investigation has been launched

A car was reversed 'multiple times' into a house - with the motive for the 'isolated incident' still a mystery.

Police say 'substantial damage' was caused by a driver who backed a grey Nissan Juke into a house on Reed Avenue in Great Harwood, east Lancashire, deliberately.

Officers were called out to the scene at 12.56am today (May 25), where the car remained.

A Lancashire Police spokesperson said: "When they arrived our officers found the Nissan had been driven a significant way into the living room of the property, causing substantial damage.

"Thankfully there was nobody inside the property at the time."

No one has been arrested so far and police are still working to understand the motivation for the attack.

Enquiries are ongoing and patrols have been stepped up in the area.

Detective Inspector Heather Martin, of East CID at Lancashire Police, added: “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."
