A police force is launching an investigation after officers were found to have filled in a witness statement in the name of a dog as a joke.<\/p>\n
Law enforcers from West Midlands Police pinned the statement on the wall in a local station last week, but bosses have not seen the funny side, reports the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
It read: "I chase him. I bite him. Bad man. He tasty. Good boy. Good boy, Peach."<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for the culprits, the statement soon appeared on social networking site Facebook, where it caught the attention of police chiefs.<\/p>\n
DCI Julian Harper from West Midlands Police said the Professional Standards Department is now investigating the matter, which is thought to be the result of a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n
Officials from the Crown Prosecution Service are believed to have complained to the police that the incident has seen the force become the butt of a very public joke.
