Police have collared a man who was trying to break into prison to spring an inmate while dressed as SNOOPY. Jail workers were stunned when confronted by the lovable Peanuts character waving a gun.
When the comic-strip beagle and an accomplice failed to break down a staff door, they pelted prison officers' cars with concrete missiles. A prison service source said yesterday: "It's not every day you see a giant cartoon dog going on the rampage after trying to break into a prison.
"They weren't exactly inconspicuous - but it was taken seriously because they appeared to have a gun. They caused a real commotion and it was only later they were found to be armed with a water pistol."
The duo were arrested and it then emerged they had targeted the WRONG jail - the family member they wanted to free was banged up elsewhere.
