Police hunt for mysterious Mexican scooter thief
Disability vehicles to be used in South American drugs war
POLICE in Rhyl-on-Sea are leaving no stone unturned in their hunt for a
desperate scooter thief who has emptied the town's mobility shop.
Officers were called to the scene early on Monday morning by
distraught shop owner Mark Asaph, who had arrived at his normally
well stocked premises and found them empty.
It is thought that up to 30 vehicles capable of travelling up
to seven MPH had been taken.
After combing the area for clues, detectives were able to
follow the trail of tire tracks into Rhyl-on-Sea's pedestrianised
zone, where they lost the trail.
Sgt Dave Kinmel explained, "It was like they had just vanished
into thin air.
"We looked to the left and we looked to the right but we could
see them anywhere. We were quite miffed and decided to find a pie
shop where we could wait until we worked out what to do.
"But the town's only pie shop is only open on Thursdays so we
went and sat in the cars."
The full scale search ground to a halt until an un-named
passer-by spotted the purloined vehicles speeding down the
promenade towards the edge of town.
"We went after them in hot pursuit," said Sgt Kinmel. "The
scooters had been tied together with shoelaces and were being
pulled at speed by a wild-haired geriatric, laughing manically and
smoking superkings held between her gnarly, yellowed fingers."
But the moment of truth arrived when the perp moved the
goalposts by nipping in between the obstacles in the Drifting Park.
"A roadblock set up to stop her was abandoned when we realised
that she was armed to the teeth and to be honest, none of us
fancied going down in a hail of bullets so we scarpered."
The woman, who is now thought to be the mysterious
international Mexican bandit, Hernando Jones, was seen herding the
stolen disability aids aboard a stealth painted trawler lying off
the coast.
Experts claim the scooters will be sold to the highest bidder
in the impoverished and war-torn provinces of Afghanistan.
It is likely they will be stripped down to their chassis, clad
in armour and sent against American main battle tanks.
A pentagon strategic Analyst revealed, "The bottom line is
that this could be a blessing in disguise and in the final
analysis, could bring an end to the war on terror."
A spokesman for Al Qaeda merely replied,
"Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha."
