Odd/Unusual news articles.

Post by NathanFromEngland » Sun Aug 18, 2019 5:01 pm

Got interested in making this as we know sometimes the news can come out with an odd article or strange article that could leave us confused or laughing.

I read this article on my local news website, armed police were called to an address when someone made a report that a firearm was discharged, so when police turned up they encountered a father, and his son, turns out the weapon was just a BB gun, and nothing serious happened apart from the father receiving some "advice" from the police.

It certainly was a strange surprise birthday present...

I found this article on my local news website regarding residents fury at a road that is plagued with dangerous drivers, so they placed a CD Rack with glowsticks attached in the road, then it was stolen.

Here's one where a man calmly lit a cigarette during a robbery at a bar in St Louis, Missouri.

Our local police force had to issue a statement regarding a GTA V Roleplaying group that pretended to be them.

I'm rather surprised how realistic they made their posts similar to our police force!
