Police are concerned about a new craze sweeping the midlands with people dressing as clowns to scare or intimidate others.
Residents are being urged to report any sightings to police on 101.
A force spokesman said: “Please make any potential would-be clowns aware that Lincolnshire Police will take any reports of anti-social behaviour seriously, especially where occurrences intimidate, harass or frighten members of the public.”
• If you see any clowns in your neighbourhood, please also tell the Spalding Guardian on 01775 765413.
