Police have been given the power to break up groups causing a nuisance in the Lancashire village where Nicola Bulley vanished. The move comes amid reports of people coming into St Michael’s on Wyre and filming properties for use on social media.
The dispersal order was granted as the focus of the huge search for the missing mother of two shifted towards the sea. Lancashire Police said the order was issued on Wednesday night after reports that people had come to the village from outside the county to film.
The order will remain in place for 48 hours and gives officers the power to disperse anyone committing anti-social behaviour. Police said two dispersal notices were issued and a number of other people were warned about their behaviour as the force warned it will not tolerate criminality, including trespass and criminal damage.
