This statue of a policeman about to pull his gun was stolen less than 48 hours after being installed as an anti-crime measure

THIEVES walked off with this life-sized statue of a policeman used to deter crooks at a shopping centre in Limburg, Germany.

The model – showing an officer about to pull his gun – was supposed to make thieves think twice before chancing their arm.
 
But less than 48 hours after it was installed crooks copped the 80lb statue as a trophy to show off their skills, say police.
 
“They clearly weren’t fooled by it.
 
“We’ve got a real one down there now,” one officer told the Austrian Times.
 

 

 

Dead drunk: Banjaxed hospital porters arrested for ‘abusing’ corpse

SHOCKING CCTV footage of hospital porters so drunk they dropped a body on the way to a post mortem is being investigated after the victim’s horrified relatives complained to police.
The 38 and 47-year-old porters dropped the corpse from the trolley as they weaved unsteadily through the corridors at a hospital in Legmica, Poland, on their way to the morgue.

The pair were so drunk they dropped the body repeatedly as they tried to host it back onto the gurney.

Eventually, the porters gave up and simply dragged the corpse to the autopsy room.

Police say they are interviewing two men arrested over the scandal.

“We are investigating this matter. It is possible that this was abuse of a corpse,” police spokesman Slawomir Masojc told the Austrian Times.

A THIEF kept police at bay for more than an hour before they realised that dynamite and detonators strapped around his waist were really sausages.

Sing He, 23, threatened to blow up a restaurant in Benxi, northern China, unless the owners handed him the day’s takings. 

But it was only when a specialist bomb squad arrived that cops realised the bangers were made of pork.

“When we saw what he had round his waist we couldn’t help laughing. Some of the sausages still had the wrappers on them,” said one bomb squad officer.

“It must have been terrifying for the customers but those things would only have gone off if you’d kept them past their sell by date.”

He told police he’d planned the raid because he was depressed after breaking up with his girlfriend.

“I needed some excitement in my life and to that extent it was a success,” he explained.
