TWO men involved in an incident in which a BB gun was fired at the driver of an Audi on a street during the day have been jailed. Hughie Lock, 27, and Kieron Bolton, 22, appeared at Sessions House in Preston charged with offences relating to the shooting in Ormerod Street, Accrington, on May 3. The court heard how Lock, who has three children with a woman called Sylvia Howarth, had become agitated after receiving a text from Miss Howarth’s new partner, Adam Kidger. Mr Kidger had accused Lock of upsetting Miss Howarth. In retaliation, Lock threatened Mr Kidger saying he was going to shoot him, and along with Bolton, who he recruited to act as his driver, pursued Mr Kidger’s Audi through Accrington, ramming it several times, before the Audi was forced to stop on a residential street.
