A WOMAN whose details were placed on a police most wanted list' was arrested within hours of her photograph being published in the Lancashire Telegraph.

Taxi operator Jacqueline Anne Nicholson, 38, had been placed on the 'most wanted' website after a warrant was issued for her arrest at Burnley Crown Court last October but officers had been unable to find her.

Her picture was in last Friday's Lancashire Telegraph and she was arrested at 11am.

By just after 3pm she was appearing at the crown court.

Nicholson was last June spared jail for giving the name of a former work colleague when she was stopped driving by police and was not insured.

She had been given a community order for 12 months with supervision, but had failed to comply with the order and had not been in contact with the probation service.

Last October she had been summonsed over the breach but a warrant had been issued for her arrest when she did not show up.

Judge Pamela Badley bailed her until February 8 to be resentenced at Preston Crown Court, after she had earlier admitted attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Nicholson must live at Carholme Avenue, Burnley.

Still on the most wanted list is Adam Ryder, 20, from Burnley, who failed to appear before Burnley magistrates on charges of driving while under the influence of alcohol; Sinead Shaw, from Burnley, who did not attend court after being charged with a breach of court order; and Lisa Marie Hartley, whose last known address was Nelson, who failed to appear at Burnley Magistrates' Court charged with theft and breaching a court order.
