WOMAN MISTAKES VIBRATOR FOR BURGLAR

According to a report on Metro.co.uk, a woman in Germany called the police to report ’suspicious noises’ in her apartment. However, when the officers arrived they found that the cause of the noises was in fact a vibrator.

The news report says that the noise was so loud that it was even audible over the phone when the woman called the emergency services. Concerned, police dispatched a patrol car to confront the suspected intruder, in the city of Bochum, western Germany.

A police statement said: ‘Daringly, and with the occupier’s permission, one of the officers opened the drawer of a wardrobe where the noise was coming from.

‘Underneath some clothes he found a very personal, battery-operated object which had obviously switched itself on… The tenant’s face abruptly changed colour.’

The police then wished the woman a pleasant evening and went on their way, the AFP news agency reports.
