A group of young people on an Easter egg hunt in Capel, Surrey, on March 25 helped local police find a fleeing suspect in a most unusual manner. The group formed a giant human arrow to point out to a police helicopter where the man was hiding. Two men were arrested on suspicion of burglary following the incident, according to a story on the Surrey Police website about the incident. The footage was released on April 1 but police were at pains to insist it was not an April Fools’ joke. [Additional reporting by Storyful]
