Police victims of thieves

Police victims of thieves

Thieves have stolen more than £1 million of police property since 2005, new figures reveal.

"Items taken range from a £40,000 motor home from Wiltshire Police to a portion of meat valued at just £2.58 from officers in Greater Manchester.

In Norfolk a blood sample was stolen from a police car while Kent Police were baffled by the theft of a shrubbery.

And the Metropolitan Police admitted 15 uniforms had been lifted over the last three years in figures released under the Freedom of Information Act.

West Midlands Police suffered the most expensive spate of thefts in England and Wales losing £130,000 worth of equipment".

I know you shouldn't laugh...

A SHRUBBERY? I hope it was a nice one, not too expensive...
