"Incidents" in town
 

Anybody know why Water street was cordoned off yesterday and Nuttall Street was blocked off this lunchtime. Is it the heat.....God I`m becoming nosy!

The incident in Water Street yesterday happened at 4.30am, a bloke was beaten up very badly and is critical in hospital..........they have arrested the householder of the house he was found outside.

The incident on Nuttall Street involved a C.B. minibus, a van and 2 cars I don't think there were any serious injuries but there were a few carted off to hospital..........

Hope that has satisfied your noisiness for a little while lol.

Re: "Incidents" in town
 

Does anyone know who this guy was? Its so close to home isn't it

Re: "Incidents" in town
 

Am lead to beleve, according to work mates that attened scene, that the young man was well known to the police and that the householder has stated that he had broken in but not able to confirm any of this as the investagation will be well under way by now.

What the hell is happening to what used to be a sleepy peaceful little town. Its getting more like Moss Side Than Moss Side.

Accroding to Inspector Julian Platt, of Accrington Police, crime is on its way down in the borough. Two murders within a month - I shudder to think what it was like before the police decided to crack down on all this disgraceful criminality, don't you?

The police are very good at making claims of this kind. Think they call it cuffing .If it can be cuffed or not recorded in the same severity as in a breakin with no theft would go down as damage only. Thus crime figures will decrease
