Neighbourhood watch
From the official Devon and Cornwall :
"At approximately 6:20pm local officers in Sidmouth were called to deal with four suspicious people on The Byes Path. The individuals were suspected of committing various offences and made off from officers on foot. The helicopter attended and located one male hiding in bushes near to, but out of sight of, officers on the ground. This man, along with three others, were arrested for various offences."Roughly translated into a headline for the :
"Police helicopter scrambled to catch foursome spotted engaging in sexual activity at seaside beauty spot (at least one was wearing handcuffs already.)"The Devon and Cornwall police helicopter costs £1.6m/year.
