After a 'TikTok sleuth' was arrested and fined, Wyre Council leader Michael Vincent has said residents of the Lancashire town where Nicola Bulley vanished have hired private security to stop Tiktokers invading their privacy.
He told the broadcaster detectives have ‘done their best in difficult circumstances’ but said ‘there are lessons to be learned’.
Asked if ‘social media video-makers and wannabe detectives have been an annoyance or a hindrance in the inquiry’, Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith said: ‘Yes, it has significantly distracted the investigation. However, Ms Smith said it has been searched three times, with the permission of the owner, and Ms Bulley was not there.Reports from witnesses described seeing a red van they considered to be suspicious in the area around the time Ms Bulley went missing.
Ms Smith said: ‘I myself don’t find it suspicious that fisherman would be in the area of a river that morning or carrying fishing rods.’
