Security staff patrolling the village where Nicola Bulley went missing fear that an invasion of "TikToker’s and Youtubers" could have serious consequences.
Since the 45-year-old mum's disappearance on January 27, an increasing number of vigilantes have swarmed to St Michael's-on-Wyre in Lancashire.
A local security firm offered to conduct daily and nightly patrols of the area to help reassure locals "that there's people out there looking after them".
