TWO schoolgirls have been arrested after paramedics responding to a hoax call were pelted with bricks. Police were called after an ambulance rapid response crew rushed to reports of a 13-year-old girl suffering a suspected cardiac arrest — only to be attacked by youths. Glasses and chairs were also thrown at the medics who were left "extremely shaken" by the ordeal in Eastleigh, Hants. Officers arrested two teenage girls aged 13 and 14 who today remain in custody on suspicion of assault and wasting police time. They are also suspected of using of threatening, abusive, insulting words and behaviour to cause harassment, alarm or distress. A spokesman for South Central Ambulance Service said on social media: "It beggars belief what happened to our staff in Eastleigh. "We received a 999 call informing us that a 13-year-old girl was in cardiac arrest. "We immediately sent a rapid response car and ambulance but when they arrived they were met by a barrage of bricks, glasses, … [Read more...] about Schoolgirls held after paramedics pelted with bricks, glasses and chairs as they respond to hoax call about ’13-year-old girl in cardiac arrest’

Churches selling stained glass and organs to fund upkeep, court warns
Churches are selling off their stained glass windpows and organs to fund upkeep, a Church of England court has warned. John Bullimore, chancellor of the Diocese of Derby, said that fears that churches would rip out valuable artefacts to raise money were well-founded. Ruling on an application by All Saints Church, Findern, to remove a 150-year-old organ and install a kitchen and toilet, Mr Bullimore said he shared the concerns of the organ adviser that small churches would "sell off assets - furniture or fixtures and fittings - because they are ‘not really needed’, or the mission of the church locally is more important".
