Oh good. That should release the public to get on with their own jobs......

I think the cop on the right will leave the chasing to the other two!  

Dinner is calling!

Maybe they've got him already, but can't present him to the press, as neither the vinyl board is finished, nor enough people back from holiday to do the pointing...

As a matter of interest, can anyone post a map of police regions? Mr. Google doesn't seem to know!

Don't look too far.

Is it one in a brown uniform? Asking for a friend.
