'Hot Fuzz' swan rescued from middle of the road
A police officer had his very own Hot Fuzz moment when he was tasked to rescue a wandering swan. PC Jed Raven, Essex Police's heritage and wildlife crime officer, was called to the feathery friend which had been spotted in the middle of a road in Colchester. He likened the unusual incident to a scene from 2007 movie Hot Fuzz, starring Simon Pegg, in which officers were hot on the trail of a missing swan. PC Raven quipped: "It was a bit of a wild goose chase, but I knew I had to wing it." Essex Police said: "The swan is now back to swanning about in its natural habitat, and PC Raven is officially the beak-on of community safety." The force posted details of the incident to social media on 4 August. Follow Essex news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X. More on this story 'Hot Fuzz' swan detained for blocking traffic
