Nicola Bulley: TikTok issues statement over behaviour of 'appalling sleuths'

Social media platform TikTok has issued a statement over the "appalling" content some users were uploading during the Nicola Bulley investigation.

The 45-year-old mum-of-two went missing on January 27 after dropping off her two daughters at school in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire. Her disappearance sparked a major investigation - with helicopters, drones and specialist search teams involved.

But the investigation turned ghoulish at times when TikTokers headed to the small village to carry out their own searches, despite being told to stay away by Lancashire Police. Over the weekend, TikTok "detectives" sparked fury by filming themselves digging up woodland close to where Nicola went missing, MirrorOnline reports.
