But as he tried to flee, Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere pulled out his handgun and fired, hitting him in the back. He then turned the gun through the open car door at Nolan who got out brandishing a knife. Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere fired again, missing Nolan by inches, but causing damage to the taxi. Nolan then escaped himself and was picked up by another taxi moments later. Footage of Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere running away and a series of subsequent arrests has also been released, with armed police storming a block of flats in Hulme, Manchester.

'Over the past year, our firearms unit has worked tirelessly to tackle gun crime across Oldham. "We've increased patrols in known hotspots, conducted numerous weapons sweeps, and worked closely with community leaders to identify and disrupt criminal networks."

Perimeter surveys completed on over 1.2 mln ha NCR land as of April 30, says Awang Tengah
Land and Survey Department personnel conduct an NRC land perimeter survey in Sri Aman. — Bernama file photo KUCHING (May 28): A total area of approximately 1,200,766 ha or 2,967,093 acres of the Native Customary Rights (NCR) land have been successfully surveyed by perimeter under the New Initiative NCR Land Survey Programme from October 2010 until April 30 this year. Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan said from that figure, around 935,760 ha or 2,312,263 acres have been gazetted as Bumiputera Communal Reserve (Agriculture) under Section 6 of the Sarawak Land Code. 'These surveying works are conducted based on applications from the relevant parties. 'Since 2017, the focus has also included the surveying of individual lots for the issuance of land titles under Section 18, specifically in gazetted areas, based on applications and the readiness of the claimants. 'As of April 30, 2025, a total of 99,438 individual lots covering 118,749 ha or 293,429 acres have been successfully surveyed, and land titles have been or will be issued under Section 18,' he said during his ministerial winding-up speech at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) here today. He said to expedite the surveying of individual NCR land lots, claimants must be present during fieldwork, clearly mark their land boundaries, and avoid disputes to ensure a smoother process. 'The Sarawak government is committed to ensuring the continuity of this programme and will continue to allocate the necessary funding, in addition to funds received from the federal government,' added Awang Tengah.

NCR land surveys to continue for valid claims, says Deputy Premier
Awang Tengah (seated, fourth left) and others in a photo call with the title recipients. Seated at second and third left are Iskandar and Chukpai, respectively. BINTULU (May 15): Perimeter surveys of Native Customary Rights (NRC) land will continue for as long as needed but only for landowners who present valid legal evidence and consent to the process, said Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan. The Deputy Premier said the Sarawak government is committed to the NCR survey initiative, but stressed that surveys will not proceed if ownership disputes remain unresolved or if the matter is still before the courts. 'If any dispute exists, especially if a case is still in court, the survey will not proceed unless the legal action is withdrawn and a new application is submitted. 'The government has always recognised NCR land, not just recently but since the 1960s. What we're doing now is building on that commitment with better processes,' he said during a land title handover ceremony here today. He clarified that the survey process is conducted in two stages: perimeter survey and individual lot survey. He added that since 2010, more than 1.2 million hectares—nearly three million acres—have been surveyed under this initiative. 'However, rapid development in rural areas has triggered a rise in disputes, overlapping claims, and tension among communities. 'That's why the government stepped in to expedite the surveying process, reduce conflict, and ensure everyone's rights are protected,' he said, urging claimants not to blame the government if surveys cannot proceed due to unresolved internal conflicts. 'If it's truly your land and you have proof, submit an application. The government will assess it fairly. But if it's not your land, don't make false claims.' He also addressed concerns about Section 6 documents which were often misconstrued by the public. 'Some say (Sarawak Land Code) Section 6 documents do not prove ownership. If you don't believe in it, return the document. But to date, no one has,' he said. Awang Tengah added that once a perimeter survey is completed and ownership verified, landowners can apply for land titles under Section 18, which offer perpetual ownership, exemption from premium charges, and no land tax. 'This is the government's promise to the people. As long as the moon and stars remain, the land remains yours,' he said. Also present at the handover ceremony were Jepak assemblyman Iskandar Turkee and Murum assemblyman Kennedy Chukpai Ugon. Awang Tengah Land Survey ncr land
