Which is the Guilty Swan? It can't be the one outside Swans Antiques, because if it was
that one which had escaped or gone missing again, I am Inspector Monks would have sent a whole
team out looking for it, like he did when the owner who was then a Tory Councillor telephoned him
one Sunday morning. Most people would have just received a crime number. A team of officers found
it a few hours after a search was coordinated by a local PC with local knowledge and thankfully the
Swan was found a few yards up the road in a residential garden.
Swan blocks A6003 between Caldecott and Uppingham
Police were called to help move a swan from the middle of a road but were not needed when the swan moved into a field.
The bird was spotted on the A6003 about halfway between Caldecott and Uppingham at about 12.10pm yesterday (Sunday).
The caller had tried to move the swan with no luck.
A second call was received at about 12.25pm to say the swan had moved into a field so police did not attend.
