POLICE IN CO Down have issued an appeal for information after three ducks were stolen from a nursing home at the weekend.
The birds were taken from the facility in Comber, a small town 5km south of Newtownards, between Friday night and Saturday morning.
According to a statement from the PSNI, they were stolen from a nursing home on Castle Street some time between 9.30pm and 7.30am:
Anyone who was in the area and who noticed any suspicious activity or anyone with information is asked to contact police in Newtownards on the non-emergency number 101.
The ducks’ names are Jemima, Pete and Angus.

They had this problem in a golf club I was a member of a couple of years. Someone kept on stealing the ducks. I saw them early one morning, they drove up to the pond, walked up to the ducks with bread and threw a net over them, and off they went in a van. It was so bizarre to watch, I just didn’t think to do anything. Found out later who it was doing it. I won’t say anymore though lest I be accused of being a xenophobic racist bigot, boss.
Apparently they stole my comments also….bloody quackers, they’ll steal anything!

Got any grapes?!
Ah Go on tell us? Romanians? Muslims? I don’t suppose it was the Mexicans?
You forgot the Chinese
Mmm Peking Duck.
Waddle be next?
Two ducks flying over Belfast. One says ‘quack’. The other says ‘I’m going as quack as I can! ‘
The real story here is that there’s a nursing home for ducks.
On the lookout for Jemima, Pete and Angus otherwise known as Peking, Peppered & Tender.
Perhaps they just ducked out for the afternoon?
They should call The Bill
I’m here just for the puns.
This was happening in Blackrock Park as well – got so bad the guards now patrol the pond every now and then to keep them safe. THE DUCKS ARE DECORATIVE PEOPLE; please stop eating them!
Decorative, delectable…depends on how you dress them.
I think I’ll order a Chinese
Sometimes ducks can just fly away, maybe found a new pond.
Maybe they asked for directions, at the local Chinese take away?
Their original living arrangements must not have been all they were quacked up to be
Maybe they left because they were sick of people throwing bread at them all day
Ask the Fox, see what he says.
“Co Down”- unintentional duck pun! Zing!
Oh no! Hope they are found.
Maybe they got tired of all the stupid puns about them on this page.
What’s the quack Neal? You not feeling it?
Joe Banks, 82 years young, has come to this pond everyday for the past 17 years to feed the ducks. But last month Joe made a discovery: the ducks were gone. Some say the ducks went to Canada, others say Toronto. And some people think Joe used to sit down there near those ducks. But it could be that there’s just no room, in this modern world, for an old man and his ducks.
You can make some wonderful Eastern European dishes with duck.
Thy contacting Mr Fox.
Maybe someone was simply hungry.
That’s quackers
Maybe had alzheimer s …wandered off and forgot their way back…who gives a hoot…o sorry,Thats an owl
Who steals a duck? What the duck!
Slow day in news reporting ??? It’s awful quack !!
I hope they are found, horrible for the care home as sometimes residents find it therapeutic to see some life outside while there indoors all the time, it gives people hope..
that Belfast pun is hilarious….I bet everyone who read it said it (inside their heads) in a nordy accent….
It’s a web of hoi sin
have your say
