A 41-year-old man from Morecambe has been arrested as part of the investigation.
A man had been arrested by Lancashire Police following reports of children being threatened in a Morecambe park.
In a statement released this morning, Lancashire Police said,
“We are aware of some concerns in the community and of some talk on social media about a couple of incidents in Morecambe in the last few days and we wanted to let you know what had happened.
At around 4:44pm on Monday 16th September we were called to reports of suspicious circumstances at a park on Burdock Walk in Morecambe where a man was apparently making threats to children. Officers attended and following enquiries arrested a 41-year-old man from Morecambe.
He is currently in custody.
Enquiries are continuing and we need your help. If you were in the area at the time of this incident and saw anything or have information which could help us in our investigation, please call 101 quoting log 939 of 16th September 2024.
You may also be aware of a separate incident from last week which, following enquiries, we can confirm is unrelated to the above.
On Friday 13th September at around 3:05pm we were called to Roeburn Drive, Morecambe to a report of a man carrying what was described as a weapon or a tool close to Grosvenor Park primary school.
Officers attended and carried out a thorough search of the area, but nobody was found. Enquiries are ongoing.
We are liaising with local schools to offer reassurance and there are extra patrols in the area, this will continue in the coming days.
