A TikTok social media influencer has been arrested and fined after travelling to film footage of the area where Nicola Bulley went missing. It comes as the lead investigator in the case has condemned amateur sleuths coming to the area acting as “wannabe detectives”. Dan Duffy, from Darwen, was detained by police on Friday (February 10) on a public order offence and issued with a £90 fine. Video footage of the arrest was uploaded to YouTube by Dan himself on his channel Exploring With Danny, which has 206,000 subscribers.
In the clip Duffy, wearing a black vest top, can be seen handcuffed and standing next to a police officer who was holding his arm. Addressing the camera, he said: “Hi guys, I’m being arrested on a public order offence. They’ve had an allegation.
“As you all know I was in search to find the missing woman Nicola but this is what it’s turning into. No freedom of speech,” reports LancsLive.
The video then showed Duffy being taken away in a police car before a title card read ’20 hours in the police station arrested on a public order offence for searching for missing woman Nicola Bulley’. Duffy was then seen standing on the back step of a police van giving the middle finger with both hands.
A final title card read ‘left the police station with no further charges’. The video was uploaded to YouTube on Monday (February 13) and has been viewed more than 11,000 times.
