Heather Gibbons has hit out at trespassers who are 'taking police time and resources' away from the search for missing mum Nicola Bulley
A friend of Nicola Bulley has shared four facts about a house by the River Wyre that people have wrongly labelled as 'abandoned' in a bid to dispel online rumours and stop people trying to search it.
Her Facebook post read: "Lets talk about this 'abandoned house.' I'm a friend of Nikki's who has been involved every single day in this search. "Tonight multiple police units are out in St Michaels dealing with people trespassing, not only on this families land but also others. We are at the point where people coming to 'help' look for Nikki in this way is actually doing the complete opposite.
In a press conference on Tuesday, Superintendent Sally Riley said: "We will not tolerate online abuse of anyone, including innocent witnesses, members of the family and friends, of local businesses, or of criminal damage or burglary. We will be taking a strong line on that, as you would expect." She said officers have searched derelict riverside properties with the permission of owners. She added: "Because there is no criminal element yet identified, and we don't expect there to be in this inquiry, then we're not starting to go into houses because that's not where the inquiry is leading us."
