Residents in North Swindon, England were victims of vandalism earlier this year. The community was finding their brake cables cut in half, and random acts of vandalism being taken upon their vehicles.
Several residents filed multiple police reports leading to local authorities patrolling the area. Despite their efforts of observation, vandalism still occurred and no culprit was caught. That was until an off-duty police offer found the perpetrator – an angry group of squirrels.
The off-duty police offer said:
I was quite pleased to find out that it is not some sinister human being. I needed to be sure before I announced it to members of the public because I didn’t want to end up with egg on my face, but the jokes are all starting to come my way now. I’ve had people hopping around me saying “nuts to you.” It has certainly brought some joviality to morning meetings, that’s for sure.
