Some dumb dumb dressed like a character from the Peanuts cartoon trying to break down a staff door while apparently waving a gun in attempt of breaking in a jail.The man and an accomplice, who were attempting to free a relative from HMP Isle of Wight, went on to hurl concrete missiles at prison officers’ cars. A prison source reported saying: “It’s not every day you see a giant cartoon dog go on the rampage after trying to break into a prison. They weren’t exactly inconspicuous but they were taken seriously because they appeared to have a gun.
“They caused a real commotion and it was only later they were found to be armed with a water pistol.” a source reported
It emerged after the pair were arrested that they had attempted to break into the wrong prison. They had staged the attempted jail-break at the Isle of Wight’s Albany site, while the relative they were looking for was locked up in the nearby Cramp Hill unit.
A spokesman for Hampshire Police said two men, aged 43 and 21, were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and held under the Mental Health Act after the incident on May 1. Why someone would choose to wear a snoopy costume while attempting a break in is upon me!
