Burnley based fuel distributor Samuel Cooke & Co went into administration in late July.

The company’s staff were informed on 23 July that the majority of the 86 jobs had been lost as a result, although 12 were retained to assist the administrators.

Some customer dealings are now being investigated by the police, although no further details are currently available.

Administrator Paul Flint said: “The business suffered an unexpected loss in relation to a specific group of customers that impaired asset value and, as a result, placed the business under a significant cash strain.

“The directors reported this position to the police, and it remains under investigation.”
