POLICE were alerted to Dawlish Warren this morning following reports of possible breach of the peace.

Four police cars and one van were seen driving on blue lights through Dawlish in the direction of the Warren at about 9.30am.

A police spokesman confirmed officers were in the area of Warren Road answering reports of a possible ‘breach of the peace on private land’.

It was later said the matter was being dealt with by the land owner and no offences had been disclosed to police. 

Local reports suggested there may have been a group of travellers in the area attempting to gain entry to a local camp site. 

Further reports had seen a group, possibly travellers, parked in Sainsbury’s car park at Shutterton.
