Three men have been arrested following a robbery in which a woman was bundled into a container in Whitehaven last week.
The 53-year-old woman was tied up and forced into a freight container in Moresby Park last Wednesday.
She was not found until the next morning, by which time her van and its cargo had been taken.
The white Iveco van was found burnt out in Lancashire on Friday.
Three men, aged 47, 22, and 18, have been arrested on suspicion of robbery following a number of raids on addresses in the Blackpool area.
They are being questioned by police.
The woman was said to be shaken but unhurt following the incident, at the Rexel Senate electrical retailer.
