Nicola Bulley search moves to the sea - Morecambe Bay | Dispatch

The search for missing Nicola Bulley has moved to the coastline at Morecambe Bay, 15km downstream from where the mother of two was last seen.

Lancashire Constabulary said the focus of the investigation was now in an area of the river that becomes tidal “and then out towards the sea”.

On Thursday morning, two specialist police boat teams were seen at Morecambe Bay before moving further upstream. Specialist police search officers patrolled the banks of the estuary at Shard Bridge, near Skippool, around 8km from the coast.

There was noticeably less police activity in St Michael’s on Wyre, the village where the 45-year-old went missing while walking her dog on Jan 27, but the force confirmed that it was continuing to search “areas of the River Wyre and surrounding area”.

On Wednesday night, a dispersal order was issued after members of the public from outside the St Michael’s area were seen filming the spot where Ms Bulley vanished on social media.

Police said the order “will remain in place for 48 hours and gives officers the power to disperse anyone committing anti-social behaviour” and stressed that criminality, including trespass and criminal damage would not be tolerated.

Dispersal notices were issued to two people, while a number of others were warned about their behaviour.
