PCSO Lucy Naughton said: “There are concerns that a person, or an animal such as a dog or a horse, could have been hurt if they hadn’t noticed them in the mud along the track.

“We don’t know at this stage if the pieces of wood, which have now been removed, were placed there deliberately or not but I would urge residents just to be more aware and to contact police if they have any information or notice anything suspicious in the area.”

Anyone with information about the incident, which took place on Wednesday, April 6, should call police on 101.
