Moslem community shocked by hate mail


continued from page 1 “We are currently inves­


tigating the source of both the images and the letters." Sgt John Rigby, officer in


charge of Eastern Divi­ sion's Minorities Team, said: "Whoever is circulat­ ing these letters is intent on causing upset and distress.


We have spoken to the Lancashire Council of Mosques and we are asking anyone who may receive one not to rip it up, but to place it in-a bag and hand i t in to their local police station. “We need to establish


just how wide these mail­ ings have been circulated


and preserve any potential evidence that will lead us to the perpetrators." Ibrahim Master, chairman of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, has sent a let­ ter to all mosques in the county warning them of the hate mail and giving advice on what to do if one is received.


Mr Master said: "We


have been made aware of a particular hate mailing containing an illustration that is very offensive and distm-bing to Moslems that has been posted to various mosques and individuals. We are working closely with the police and would ask that we remain cahn."

Anti-social order for serial teen


A C L ITH ERO E 15- year-old who admitted a catalogue of offences including assaults, bur­ glary, theft and criminal damage has been made subject to an anti-social behaviour order. But magistrates who


76 to 80


imposed the three year order for what they described as “serious offences” refused to allow the boy to be named. And Clitheroe police


inspector Bob Ford later expressed his “disappoint­ ment” at the magistrates' decision. “I am pleased they have


granted the Asbo because it provides protection to the community from some­ one who has repeatedly offended,” said Inspector Ford. “I believe that naming


young offenders in these circumstances reassures the community. I t shows that the agencies are tak­ ing pro-active measures to


deal with these individuals who cause misery to oth­ ers. “Knowing who the order


is against allows the com­ munity to share responsi­ bility for policing it, but I can reassure the public that the order will be rigor­ ously enforced.” The boy pleaded guilty


to two charges of assault, criminal damage, theft of a pedal cycle and burglary at a flat in Woone Lane. He was made subject to


a supervision order for two years, which will include an intensive supervision and support programme, an electronic curfew order


. for three months between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. and ordered to pay £100 com­ pensation to each of his teenage victims and £50 to the owner of the damaged property. Lisa Worsley (prosecut­


ing), said the first offences were the theft of a pedal cycle from a 14 -year-old Burnley boy who had


cycled with a frieiid to visit his granddad in Clitheroe. The boy was approached


by a number of youths and one of them rode off on a bike. He gave chase and was


eventually set upon by two of them, including the


defendant. After being knocked to


the floor he was punched and kicked and two other lads joined in. Before the defendant rode off on the bike he said: “Don’t mess with the Clitheroe boys.” The second offence was


an attack on a 15-year-old boy on his way home from school. He was punched repeatedly by the defen­ dant as two other teenagers looked on. The burglary was at the


home of a man called Michael Harris who the defendant had previously visited. On the day of the offence


he invited Mr Harris round to his house that night because he was

babysitting. Towards the end of the night the defen­ dant and his friends asked Mr Harris to stay and look after the child while they went for some fresh air. In fact they went to Mr


Harris’s f la t and stole property and then took it back to the house where he was still babysitting. The damage was com­


mitted at an unoccupied flat in Corporation Street where a fire was started and a mirror smashed. Mr Jonathon Taylor


(defending), said his client clearly needed the help of the Youth Offending Team and any other agencies they could refer him to. “He is at a very impres­


sionable stage in his life and he has a lot of issues that need to be addressed, particularly alcohol,” he said. “He knows that he has


no more chances and if he doesn’t comply then cus­ tody will be the only option.”


Residents’ presentation evening


A LARGE number of Clitheroe residents were left high and dry on Tues­ day after a burst water main left them with no water supply for several hours. Householders in Well Terrace and the surround­


ing areas were affected ■ after their water went off at 5 a.m. Motorists and local


businesses also suffered as the road was closed and a diversion was put in place. United Utilities engi­


neers, who are investigat­ ing the cause of the burst,' managed to restore all the ‘ water supplies by 1-45'


p.m. A spokesman for United


Utilities said they did everything they could to restore the problem, as ‘ quickly as possible, adding: “We apologise to customers for the inconve­


nience.” The road will remain


closed until tomorrow, while re-surfacing work is being carried out.

Devil s MDow to close again


ROAD closed signs will go up again on Saturday on the A671 Whalley Road at Devil’s Elbow. ^ Last week’s near-fatal accident, in


which a 44-toime truck overturned on the sharp bend, means new repairs need to be carried out. The road had only just reopened after an eight-week closure for major road safety and bridge strengthening work. Two workmen at the scene cheat­


ed death by leaping for safety when the lorry overturned. They were hit by flying debris and needed hospital


treatment. Damage caused to the road surface in the accident and clean-up operation means it will be closed from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sat­ urday for repairs to be carried out. A signed diversion will be put in place as used in the previous closure. In order to carry out the remain­


der of bridge and roadworks safely for road users and the workers, one­ way traffic signal control will be used where necessary until the job is


completed. A spokesman for Lancashire


County Council’s highways depart-.


ment said: "We appreciate that this will cause some inconvenience for road users and their co-operation during these works will be greatly appreciated. "The crash and diesel spill hap­


pened right at the end of the works and the injuries to the workers along with the damage to the road are regrettable. Although we cannot claim back the time and inconve­ nience caused to the county council and road users, we intend to claim back the extra costs from the com­ pany involved in the incident."
