Two people have been arrested on suspicion of fraud after a funeral directors was raided by police.
Lancashire Police said its investigation of Martin’s funeral directors in Preston was “focused solely on potential financial irregularities relating to the business”.
The force said earlier this month it was contacted with “concerns about some of the practices” at the firm but had “not found anything untoward in respect of the treatment or storage of peoples’ loved ones”.
Three addresses in Preston and Longridge were searched and a man in his 60s and a woman in her 50s, both from Preston, were arrested on suspicion of fraud by false representation.
