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.
