Cleopatra Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Are recruits not taking intelligence tests when applying to join the police force? In Hartlepool an officer called for support and scrambled a police helicopter when he spotted what he thought was a lookout standing on top of a heap of scrap in a scrap metal yard, bearing in mind that there had been thefts from scarpyards in the area. Turned out it was a scarecrow that the scrapyard owner had placed there as a deterrent to would be burglers. That's not all.... Come here, there's more. In Shropshire two officers were on their way home after a night shift when they got a call from an off duty sergeant who spotted a pensioner with a walking stick struggling against a violent storm in a feild. They went to the rescue only to find it was another scarecrow. Apparantly they were not pleased when they called into HO. They said they were going home and left a message for the sergeant to visit Spec Savers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
