Travelodge 'lift surfing' video prompts police investigation

'Lift surfing' at a Travelodge hotel is being investigated by police. A video posted online appeared to show footage of an elevator shaft taken by someone sitting on top of the lift.

The shocking video shows a YouTuber apparently filming himself riding the lift down while an automated voice can be heard in the background announcing the doors opening, and that the lift will be going back up. The lift is then ridding back up before the video cuts to the inside, before the lift goes down three floors.

The footage, purportedly taken at Morecambe Travelodge, was posted three days ago and has been viewed 146 times, LancsLive reports. Lancashire Constabulary has confirmed it is investigating the Morecambe incident and inquiries are ongoing after damage was caused in the incident.
