Hello, 

A cannabis farm has been uncovered in Chorley after armed men launched an attack on the property.

Police were called to an address in Moor Road after a gang of men armed with weapons tried to force their way inside at 12.30am this morning.

When police arrived at the scene, the men had already fled but officers discovered a cannabis grow inside the property. Around 100 plants were seized and it was found that the electricity had been illegally bypassed.

No arrests have been made at this stage but Lancashire Police said enquiries are ongoing.

Also today, an anti-vaccination protester from Leyland charged with harassing former health secretary Matt Hancock has appeared in court.

Geza Tarjanyi, 62, from Leyland, who has denied causing harassment without violence, is accused of shoulder-barging the MP and shouting “ridiculous conspiracy theories” on two separate occasions on January 19 and 24. He appeared in court just 24 hours after speaking at Lancashire County Council's development control committee, where the anti-fracking campaigner objected to a successful bid by Cuadrilla to be given another two years to restore its controversial Preston New Road site in Fylde.

The trial continues.

Elsewhere today, we’ve rounded up Preston’s cleanest chippies for you, always nice to know when you’re grabbing a takeaway. We’ve also wound the clock back to life in Preston’s schools in the 1980s. 

Finally, at Deepdale there’s hope PNE could bring back two key figures from last season as attention turns to the summer transfer window. 

Thanks for reading, 

Adam
