Nicola Bulley: Police stop social media filming in search area

Bangla Sanglap Desk: Police searching for missing mum Nicola Bulley have stopped people filming on social media outside houses in the area near to where she disappeared.

Ms Bulley, 45, was last seen on a riverside dog walk in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire on 27 January.

Lancashire Police said it had issued two dispersal notices and warned others about their behaviour.

Officers were also looking into "grossly offensive" comments made online, it added.

Dispersal notices, which remain in place for 48 hours, were issued at about 20:40 GMT on Wednesday. "We will not tolerate criminality, including trespass and criminal damage," a force representative said. Ms dropped her her usual dog walk alongside the river on 27 January. Her phone, still connected to a Teams call, was found on a bench on a steep riverbank overlooking the water, along with the dog lead and harness on the ground.

Despite a major search, including divers, drones and a police helicopter, there has been no trace of Ms Bulley since she was last seen at 09:10 GMT.

Police believe she fell in the river, but detectives said they remain "fully open-minded" to any information that indicates where she is or what happened to her.

The River Wyre is about 28 miles (45km) long, and the search has now been extended as far as Knott End and Morecambe Bay.
