WHAT may appear to be a quiet night for Thames Valley Police took a funny turn of events after they jokingly stop and searched a cat.

Bracknell's police community support officers (PCSO's) were on foot patrol in The Lexicon, Bracknell last night (September 22) before they crossed paths with a furry feline.

They two officers jokingly tweeted a picture of the cat to lighten spirits, with the caption: "PSCO Jane and Sgt Cass came across this trouble maker while on foot patrol this evening in Bracknell town centre. Stop & Search completed - found in possession of cat nip....words of advice given and sent him on his way."
