Police allegedly stopped a search group that was looking for missing Nicola Bulley, 45, from investigating an abandoned house Wednesday night (Feb 8). The group reportedly believed the property was somehow connected to the mum-of-two's disappearance, but were quickly halted after a 'dispersal order' from officials.
It came as the police have urged the public to avoid looking for the missing mum themselves, warning to not "take the law into their own hands". As reported by the Daily Record, people have also been urged by officers to not direct online abuse towards those part of the search operation.
Lancashire Constabulary issued a statement on the matter, saying it "will not tolerate" people committing criminal offences by breaking into empty or derelict riverside properties to try to locate the missing mother-of-two. Commenting on the group's alleged search mission, TalkTV's Oliver Whitfield-Miocic said the police gave dispersal orders to a group of men.
