Rabbit calls police to home
6:01am Saturday 9th June 2007
Comments (1)Police officers forced entry into a home in a bid to help a women heard crying only to find it was her rabbit who had called for attention.
Operators from a telephone monitoring service connected to the house told Bromley Police they could hear a woman crying and whimpering down the line in Shurlock Drive, Orpington.
It was believed the resident was in need of immediate help.
Two officers could not find a way of getting into the flat and no neighbours or relatives could assist them.
They demolished both the door and frame and a large part of the surrounding wall and hallway.
Once inside, both officers were confronted by a large brown lop-eared Dutch rabbit hopping around the front room and whimpering.
The rabbit, named Humphrey, had pulled the cord which telephones the monitoring service while his owner was out shopping at around 1pm on May 27.
