Car 'deliberately reversed' into house many times

A car has been deliberately reversed into a house many times, causing "substantial damage" to the living room.
No-one was inside the property in Reed Avenue, Great Harwood, when a grey Nissan Juke was driven into it at about 01:00 BST, Lancashire Police said.
Officers found the car had been "driven a significant way into the living room".
No-one has been arrested but police are appealing for anyone with information or footage to contact them.
A police spokesperson said work was "ongoing to understand the motivation for this attack", which was being treated as an isolated incident.
Det Insp Heather Martin added: "I understand that neighbours will be shocked and concerned by this incident and I want to reassure the Great Harwood community that we have a dedicated team of officers assigned to this case who are determined to identify those involved and bring them to justice."

Man kicked medics after pulling baby's oxygen tube

A man who attacked two nurses and a paramedic after pulling an oxygen tube which was connected to an 11-month-old baby has been jailed. Andrew Phillips, 26, became aggressive towards medics while being treated at Blackpool Victoria Hospital on 28 January. Lancashire Police said Phillips "caused chaos" and was believed to have taken cocaine while at the hospital. He was jailed for two years and six months with an extended licence period of 24 months at Preston Crown Court. The force said Phillips tried to enter areas where other patients were being treated and was warned by staff not to go into a cubicle where the baby was receiving care. But Phillips barged past a paramedic and nurse, picked up a chair and threw it out of the cubicle, before falling into and pulling at the IV cable and oxygen tube which were attached to the baby, police said. As the paramedic and two nurses tried to disconnect the tubes to get the baby to safety, he then pulled the arm of one of the nurses, causing a fracture to her arm and wrist. Phillips punched and kicked out at other staff, with another nurse suffering a bruised ankle. Lancashire Police said the baby was unharmed by Phillips' actions. Phillips, of Grange Road, Blackpool, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm, assault causing actual bodily harm and affray. Det Con Alexa Taylor said: "I hope the sentence sends a clear message that the police and courts will not tolerate disturbances on hospital grounds and attacks on our colleagues within the NHS. "Hospitals, NHS staff and paramedics provide care to the sick, injured and vulnerable, and should not be assaulted or put at risk while they are working."

Students build gates to stop anti-social behaviour

Joinery students have been building wooden gates for homes on a town's housing estate as part of a police project to tackle anti-social behaviour. White wooden fences built by those learning the trade at Burnley College have been put up on the front porches of properties to deter people from gathering outside. PC Chris McKee of Lancashire Police said older homeowners on the estate, the location of which has not been revealed, had been concerned about young people "gathering, drinking and smoking" outside their homes and making them feel unsafe. He said the students efforts were a "great example of the local community coming together to tackle anti-social behaviour". PC McKee said the force was also stepping up patrols and working with the housing provider on the estate to install extra security. David Lord, head of construction and engineering at Burnley College, said the students were excited to be part of the project, which can be incorporated into the curriculum. He said it had been an "ideal opportunity for them to put their skills and knowledge into action and create something which will really make a difference to the lives of others". The project was funded by LANPAC, the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime. Listen to the best of BBC Radio Lancashire on Sounds and follow BBC Lancashire on Facebook, X and Instagram.
