A MAN arrested after a woman was tied up in her own home is being questioned.
The 39-year-old was arrested in the Bradshaw area of Bolton after Joanne Trickett was tied up and petrol poured all over her home on Stanhill Lane, Oswaldtwistle.
Joanne, 33, is said to be extremely traumatised.
It is thought her children were in the house at the time and they are being comforted by friends.
Joanne is a part-time tele-ads worker at the Lancashire Evening Telegraph in Blackburn.
Inspector Steve Baines of Lancashire Police said: "The man was brought to Lancashire late last night for further questioning on charges of aggravated burglary."
