Two young men found themselves in a terrifying situation after being caught trespassing on a farmer's land. The farmer, who was later arrested and released on bail, allegedly tied them to his quad bike and drove them four miles to the police station in Lancashire. The incident was recalled by one of the men, 17-year-old Leland Hornby, in an interview with The Sun.
According to Leland, he and his friend had been riding their electric bike on the farmer's land on Saturday night. When they tried to leave, they found the gate locked and decided to return in the morning. However, upon their return, they discovered that their bike was missing. As they were walking back, the farmer suddenly appeared behind them, jumped off his quad bike, and tackled them to the ground.
In a quick and alarming turn of events, the farmer managed to tie the two men, aged 17 and 20, to his quad bike before speeding off to the police station. Leland recalls feeling scared and unable to move, with his hood pulled over his head and his friend in a similar state. They were not properly secured to the quad bike and feared they might fall off at any moment.
The incident was captured on CCTV, showing the farmer racing through the streets with the two men tied up. Leland's mother, who was understandably upset, shared that her son and his friend were absolutely terrified and at risk of falling off the quad bike. She questioned why the farmer didn't simply call the police instead of taking matters into his own hands.
The farmer had indeed called the police to report the trespassers and their detention, but by the time the authorities arrived, he had already reached the police station with the two men. Lancashire Police confirmed that the farmer had been arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment and assault, but has since been released on bail pending further investigations.
The incident has left both Leland and his mother shaken, with Leland also expressing confusion over the farmer's actions. He wonders why the farmer didn't just call the police and allow them to handle the situation. Both Leland and his friend were lucky to walk away from the incident unharmed, but it serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of trespassing on private property.
