Conservative Councillor Peter Jones, Stolen Swan back in place, thanks to Inspector Monks and his swan hunting team.
A few weeks ago Conservative Councillor Peter Jones found his swan had been stolen from the front of his shop. He telephoned Oakham Inspector Johnny Monks who sent out his crack team of Swan hunters headed by PC Sue Cockerill (4074), The team of officers thankfully found the swan a few hours later in a nearby garden. Inspector Monks was not very pleased when he spoke to the Leicester Mercury and said arrest were imminent.
Some people are lucky to get a crime number if they loose car stereo or a cycle of much more value.
