Police seize almost 100 pyramid rings destined for sale at Appleby

Officers stopped a vehicle in the early hours of this morning (5 June) in the Appleby area, heading to the trade fields for Appleby Horse Fair.

Officers seized 99 “pyramid rings” after stopping a vehicle at around 1am this morning.

The rings will be destroyed.

Police Gold Commander for Appleby Horse Fair, Dan St Quintin, said: “This is another example of our officers carrying out proactive work to keep people from all communities safe.

“There have been numerous examples around the country of such rings being used to cause significant injury to people so I welcome the fact we have been able to seize these and have them destroyed before they are made available for sale.”
