Return of Minnie
MINNIE "THE CAT", whose furry features have adorned several WANTED posters around Swaffham Prior is now back in custody. Currently serving life in Swaffham Bulbeck, Minnie escaped after a visit to Swaffham Prior Vet, Alan Gould. In a spectacular break-out from a closely guarded high-security cat-carrier, she disappeared up Stocks Farm drive and was not seen for a week.
Specialist cat profiler Maggie Cotner was called in to pinpoint the likely location of Minnie's hideout, and after a short stakeout, she gave herself up without a fight, calmly walking out from the Stocks Farm hedge where she had been holed up all along. But a later incident resulted in some injury to the arresting officer, and a Prior dog, a close relative of Lucky, was placed under caution for incitement and behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace.
