A case for the frying squad? Police in chemical suits rush to deal with mystery spillage...

When police responded to reports of an unidentified chemical spillage, they were determined to take no chances. All
they knew was that a projectile hurled through a car window had
shattered, showering the scene in a pungent-smelling liquid. As
this picture shows, officers arrived in full protection suits, ready to
deal with whatever chemical threat was lurking on the quiet North
London street in the early
hours of Friday morning.



Taking no chances: A policeman in a chemical suit carefully examines the car at the centre of the incidentSo imagine their embarrassment when their hi-tech monitoring equipment identified the substance as ... HP sauce. An onlooker in Cheddington Road said: 'It was all very dramatic. 'The bottle smashed the driver's window and had spilt inside the car. 'There were fire engines and ambulances with their lights flashing.



Three officers gingerly examine the spillage, which is later identified as HP Sauce'The
road was sealed off and we all thought we'd have to be evacuated - a
female officer was even taken to hospital as she got some of the liquid
on her suit. 'But then one of them told us it was only brown sauce - it was hilarious. Maybe they thought the E numbers were a hazard.' A
spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'With any unidentified
chemical spillages, we have to treat all incidents equally seriously.'




A bit of overkill don't you think ...............Take no risks!! :)

HP sauce has got 'form' you know :-))))

could have been worse could have been a hot chilli dip :-)

How certain were they that it was HP sauce and not Daddies sauce?
