A key road in Preston remains closed this morning following a double stabbing that took place near Moor Park. Police were called to reports of a serious assault at Blackpool […]
Officers found to 15-year-old boys with stab wounds. One of the boys is in hospital in a serious, but stable, condition. The other’s injuries are not thought to be serious.
An investigation is underway and, as of 6.50am this morning (1 April), the road remains closed to traffic between Garstang Road and Sir Tom Finney Way.
DCI Sean Kelly-Martland, of South CID said: “This assault has left a teenager very poorly, and our thoughts are with him as he receives treatment.
“Our investigation is very much in the early stages, but we have a dedicated team of officers conducting enquiries to locate and arrest those responsible.
“I know that this may be concerning to hear about, but I want to reassure you that you will see an increase in our officers presence in the area. If you have any concerns, or information, please do approach them as they carry out their duties.
“If you see any footage of the assault circulating on social media, please remember that there are real people who are affected by this incident. I ask that you refrain from sharing it, and speculating online, and please report it through the appropriate channels.
“I want to make a direct appeal to anyone who may be able to assist our enquiries. We are particularly interested in seeing any dashcam or CCTV footage of Blackpool Road, and Moor Park Avenue, both near to Moor Park, between 3:30pm and 4:15pm today (31st March).
“If you saw anything suspicious, or have any information, no matter how insignificant you may think it to be, please do the responsible thing, and get in touch with us.”
You can contact police on 101 quoting log 1001 of 31 March.

Founded by Marie-Ève Breton, the grocery chain has gone viral for its ultra-low prices, rotating inventory model, and no-frills approach — and it's quickly becoming a favourite for Quebecers looking to save without sacrificing quality.</p><h3>Why is Liquidation Marie so cheap?</h3><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJIpJ5xtMe2/?img_index=1" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">

</blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>Unlike traditional grocery stores, Liquidation Marie's inventory is based on opportunistic buying: surplus stock, labeling errors, odd packaging formats, and even items near or just past their best-before date — all vetted under strict <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/mapaq" target="_blank">MAPAQ</a> safety standards.</p><p>As a result, people can find just about anything at ridiculously low prices, from fruits and veggies to cheese, cereal, canned goods, frozen meat, and more. In an interview with Narcity Québec, Breton revealed that starting in June, milk will be sold at the lowest price legally allowed in Quebec — year-round — in all of her stores.</p><p>The entrepreneur's model relies on volume, not high margins. "I sell items at the lowest price I can afford, so they move fast," she said. "I focus on quantity, not profit per item."</p><p>Breton also emphasizes the importance of educating customers about best-before dates. "A product isn't unsafe just because the freshness date has passed," she explained. "It's often sealed and still good for months, sometimes years."</p><h2>Laval isn't the only one getting a new store</h2><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHj5sA2xmqX/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
