Mystery booby traps have been found in woods popular with children and dog walkers.
Dangerous lengths of barbed trip wires were strung between trees and across a path at ankle height.
The wires were removed by dog walker Pat Jones - but she was shocked to see some had been replaced the following day.
The traps were found near where a drugs den was found by police in the woods at Brackla near Bridgend, South Wales.

Police have removed all the wires - and have set up patrols in the woods.
Pat, 52, who was exercising her cocker spaniel Baxter said: "They were well hidden but luckily my dog spotted them before me.
"They were at a height where they would have cut the top of his chest or legs.
"Children have always played in these woods and it's just not safe for them any more."
Local councillor Hailey Townsend said: "Such an irresponsible act could have serious consequences and people should be alert when using the woods."
