Crewe Police / TwitterEpic fail of the day goes to the man in Crewe who rang 999 by accident. We arrived to check he was safe... and found his cannabis farm!
— Crewe Police (@PoliceCrewe) June 16, 2014
POLICE IN CHESHIRE in the UK received a 999 call on Monday afternoon, but when they answered the person on the other end hung up.
The Crewe Chronicle reports that officers then followed procedure and attended the address to carry out a welfare check on the caller.
Upon arriving at the property they found that the occupant had dialled the emergency services by accident.
What they also found was a large number of suspected cannabis plants in the front room of the house and promptly arrested a 42-year-old man.
“The circumstances around this call being made beggars belief,” PC Shelley Woods told the local paper. “We don′t often find people in this position as accommodating to police enquiries.”
