Officer der schottischen Polizei untersuchen seit einigen Tagen einen vermeintlichen Mordfall, den Google Street View in Edinburgh aufgezeichnet haben will. Ein User hatte diese Bilder, die so lange noch nicht online sind, entdeckt und die Polizei informiert. Letztendlich aber hatten sich zwei Mechaniker einfach nur einen Spaß erlaubt.
Officers from Police Scotland were deployed to investigate – but quickly discovered the cold-blooded murderer and his lifeless victim were actually a pair of mischievous mechanics.
The quick-thinking jokers staged the fake homicide as Google’s camera car passed alongside their garage in Giles Street.
Garage boss and “murder victim” Dan Thompson said he was “mortified” when uniformed officers turned up at the business to investigate reports of his death.
Working nearby was “axe-wielding maniac” and mechanic Gary Kerr, who also had to sheepishly admit it was all a hoax.
