CRAP ARREST OF THE WEEK

A father and his teenage daughter had a bad trip in Hereford recently when they were suddenly confronted by angry cops claiming they were carrying “a large quantity of an illegal substance”.

Imagine the cops’ glee as they duly discovered 8 bars of what they suspected was “compressed cocaine” in their car boot. The bewildered pair were then nicked and held for 3 hours while forensics worked up a lather in order to discover that the ‘toot loot’ was in fact, er, soap that the young girl had made for a school project.

You’d think the cops would’ve swiftly wiped the smirks off their faces and washed their hands of the affair but no, they done ‘em anyway and impounded the car for having recently expired insurance. The dirty soap-dodgers.
