Gran arrested

Any excuse to put our DNA on their database...

A Grandmother was arrested, fingerprinted and forced to provide a DNA sample - after being accused of stealing a football that had landed in her garden.

Angela Hickling says she was taken to police head- quarters at Ripley after an officer called at her home and told her husband: "I've come to arrest your wife."She was arrested on suspicion of theft after neighbour Christopher Salisbury reported her for stealing his son's ball.

Despite telling police she had looked for the ball but could not find it, officers searched her Heanor home and the surrounding land.The 56-year-old gran's ordeal continued at the police station, where she was questioned for 90 minutes before being forced to provide fingerprints and a DNA test before she was released.

A few days later, police told her they were dropping the case because of a lack of evidence.

I can't imagine why they want a grandmother's DNA, unless her name's Ma Baker.
