00:09 Officers closed Birkdale Drive and Ashfield Road shortly after 6am following the incident.
00:15 Two men were later arrested.
00:17 Officers said enquiries were ongoing and they believe the incident was isolated and there
00:21 was no threat to the wider public.
00:24 A woman from Cleveley says she's gone from cloud nine to feeling utterly deflated after
00:28 being ghosted by the National Lottery over her winnings.
00:32 Jennifer Gofford won £10,000 on her £3 triple cash word scratch card in March.
00:37 She says she immediately got in touch with the National Lottery to submit her claim but
00:42 five weeks later she is still waiting to hear back about her prize money.

00:51 delay.

01:07 their investigation.
01:08 In a personal column penned for the Lancashire Post and Blackpool Gazette, filed MP Mark
01:14 Menzies said he'd made mistakes and for that he was deeply sorry.

01:24 to pay off people who had locked him in a flat.
01:27 He'd previously announced he would not be standing at the forthcoming general election.
01:31 An investigation into the allegations concluded while there had not been a misuse of party
01:36 funds, the MP's behaviour fell below the required standards and may have breached the
01:41 Nolan principles of public life.
