Police have issued a warning to people in Ipswich to be on alert as a lunatic is erecting booby traps in the Kesgrave area. Wire has been stretched across a number of cycle and footpaths at head height to cause serious harm to the public.

It’s not exclusively BMXers on this mad mans hit list but anyone using these pathways. There has been no reports of injuries so far and hopefully it will stay that way. Stay vigilant, and any information on this you can contact the Suffolk Constabulary here….
