Police officers swarmed a woman's home following reports of a dead body - but it turned out to be an old Halloween prop.
Police Car
Cara Louise had a dummy corpse wrapped up in bin bags for a party she threw for the spooky holiday last year and had stashed it away in her garden.
Cara had forgotten to put the 'body' away while doing some gardening recently which led to neighbours contacting the law about the supposedly sinister sight in her garden.
This led to a team of police officers paying a visit to her home in Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, and left Cara with some awkward explaining to do.
She said: "I arrived home from the school run to see two police cars driving away from outside my house.
"I get out of the car to my neighbour standing there in which I ask jokingly 'What have you done?'
"Then I was told they were all at my house as three people had called in to report a dead body."
