PATROLS at a popular county beauty spot have been upped after barbed wire was found placed across paths to harm visitors.
We reported earlier in the week on an image - captured on the east side of Jubilee Hill - showing a long length of barbed wire stretched across a downhill path, which could snare a cyclist causing life-changing injuries.
West Mercia Police said through their Malvern Cops Twitter account: “Bike and foot patrols [out on the hills], following reports of barbed wire left across bike tracks on the Malvern hills.
“Anyone with information should call 101 with reference 0622_i_0703202.”
Members of the public Facebook group Malvern Matters have been reacting to the wire - including one worried parent.
