Police are warning anybody who leaves dangerous devices on the Island’s green lanes could be facing very stiff penalties.
It comes after a spate of incidents where spiked pieces of wood were left on a greenway running from the Switchback Road at Lhergydoo and the Staarvey Road.
The latest was found on Saturday and officers say although those responsible might be targeting vehicles, if a walker stepped on one they could be seriously injured.
PC Ian Scott of the Western Neighbourhood Policing Team says it’s a serious matter that’s being actively investigated:
Trial of man accused of causing death by dangerous driving starts
Survey finds those under 40 find it difficult to manage on current income
Ban for driver who had almost four times legal limit of cocaine in system
2000 year-old spoon discovered on IOM used to 'tell the future'
