A plastic owl used to frighten off other birds on top of Banstead police station was the subject of a bizarre rescue operation after it came loose from its roof fixing.
A fire fighting crew from Epsom mounted a rescue operation to get the 18-inch plastic owl down from its insecure spot on top of the police station on Banstead High Street, south London, at 12.50pm on Saturday.
The owl has since been adopted by fire crews who have placed the fake bird on top of their own station premises in Church Street, Epsom.
