Police seemed powerless to stop an annoying alarm which blared away for over an hour last night at Ormskirk's Nationwide building society.
The problem was finding a keyholder who could silence the contraption - two officers turned up at 10.30 after a number of local complaints; it's not yet known what set the alarm off in the first place.
Last weekend two alarms - also on Burscough St. shops - sounded for over an hour simultaneously.
