This gun taken ‘off the streets’ by Beds police caused no end of mirth – 17 on-target responses
Over on Twitter the good people of Bedfordshire police shared news of their latest proactive operations to tackle serious and organised crime.
And very serious stuff and hugely important work it is too, obviously.
Yet there was something about the picture of the gun that they shared that prompted no end of mirth.
It generated lots and lots of responses and we’ve read them all – well, quite a few of them – so you don’t have to, and these 17 surely say it best.
