Malicious communications arrest made in connection with Nicola Bulley investigation

Lancashire Police statement...

We wanted to let you know that we’ve arrested a man on suspicion of malicious communications offences and perverting the course of justice in connection with our investigation to find Nicola Bulley.

It relates to footage being taken from inside a police cordon close to the River Wyre on Sunday, February 19th, which was subsequently posted online.

A 34-year-old man from Kidderminster was arrested this morning (Wednesday, March 8), with assistance from our colleagues at West Mercia Police, on suspicion of malicious communications offences and perverting the course of justice.

He has since been bailed with conditions.

Our priority is, and has always been, to support Nicola’s family and the wider community in St Michael’s. We hope this arrest provides reassurance that we take concerns seriously and will act on them.
