Police said they were responding to an “emergency” at M&S following a complaint about officers taking up disabled parking bays.

A miffed resident snapped a police car and van occupying the prized spots at the New Hall Hey Retail Park in Rawtenstall on Saturday lunchtime, August 13. The shopper, from Bacup, said: “It seems the police are exempt from badges, and disabled customers like my wife and I had to park 200 yards away to shop.

“They were still parked there some time later and no blue lights or sirens, so I’m sure they could have used other available spaces.” In response Lancashire Police told Lancs Live they were investigating an alleged shoplifting but after establishing no offence had taken place there were no arrests.A spokesperson said: “We’ve looked into this one and we were attending a grade one call to the retail park following a report of a public order offence involving a man and woman at Marks and Spencer.
