Police Activity in Bridlington was False Alarm

An area of the town was cordoned off last night.

An area of Bridlington was cordoned off last night following what emerged to be mistaken reports that a body had been found wrapped in plastic on the railway embankment off Victoria Road.

Humberside Police say a cordon was put in place whilst the reports were investigated by their teams and colleagues from British Transport Police but stood down after it was confirmed to be a large doll.

Officers say the call to the force was made with good intent.
