Police are warning anybody who leaves dangerous devices on the Island’s green lanes could be facing very stiff penalties.
It comes after a spate of incidents where spiked pieces of wood were left on a greenway running from the Switchback Road at Lhergydoo and the Staarvey Road.
The latest was found on Saturday and officers say although those responsible might be targeting vehicles, if a walker stepped on one they could be seriously injured.
PC Ian Scott of the Western Neighbourhood Policing Team says it’s a serious matter that’s being actively investigated:


Crash which closed the Mountain Road ahead of racing 'not too serious'
TT campers in 'high spirits' despite rain affecting race week
Influencers told 'get your facts right' about Island's speed limits
Increase in number of patients transferred to UK
