This page contains those archived Off-beat stories that have made Essex Police hit the headlines in true Essex style!
This apparently true headline was fronted on the Daily Mirror a good few years ago now......
| A CRAZED "werewolf" with amazing strength
was seized yesterday after fighting a four-hour battle with eight terrified police.
During the struggle, the wolfman: SNARLED and howled with his lips curled back, CROUCHED on all fours, FOAMED at the mouth and LEAPT at police with his hands and fingers rigid in the shape of claws. One bobby was treated for scratches to his face and neck after being attacked by the beast-like man in the yard of the main police station at Southend, Essex. |
The policemen who fought to cage him were hurled
through the air time and time again. When they finally managed to drag the wolfman into a cell, he rammed his head through its 1 1/2 inch thick wooden door hatch and got stuck. Frightened firemen then struggled for an hour before freeing him. And a doctor called to calm him had to use a double-strength sedative after his first injection-which would have felled any normal person- failed to have any effect. etc., etc., etc. |
Any suggestions as to the identity of the 'crazed werewolf' should be mailed to the Webcop�

Police to be disciplined over strippagram |
| Twenty-two police officers from across Britain are to face disciplinary action after a
raunchy strippagram show at a police training college. The Police Complaints Authority said it was recommending action against the officers following allegations they had "engaged in or acquiesced to unacceptable behaviour with a female stripper". Six of the officers involved are to be charged with discreditable conduct, with one other facing further charges of falsehood and prevarication, while the rest are to be formally "admonished" or given "advice" over their conduct. Lancashire Police asked the PCA to investigate after a woman officer complained about the show last February at the force's headquarters training school at Hutton near Preston. Stills taken from a video of the stripper's act were later published in The Mirror. According to the paper, the stripper undressed a male officer who was celebrating his birthday at the school's social club, and got him to lick chocolate sauce and whipped cream from her body. Afterwards three Lancashire officers were suspended and a number of officers from other forces were sent home. PCA member Clare Mitchell said: "This has been an unusual incident in that it has involved police forces throughout England. "Having carefully examined all the evidence and considered the recommendations submitted by the forces, I have decided formal charges should be brought against six officers and less formal action against 16 others." Apart from the Lancashire officers, the PCA recommended action against officers from Cleveland, Cumbria, Devon and Cornwall, Essex, Humberside, Northamptonshire, Staffordshire, West Mercia, West Yorkshire and the Metropolitan Police.
The Webcop� is totally disgusted by this story and can not believe that highly trained Essex detectives would be corrupted so easily...It is the opinion of this jury that the Essex detectives were in fact carrying out covert observations on the other forces detectives...Horray for our brave undercover lads......Keep up the good work boys!
