Radstock Cub Scouts were 'arrested' by two police community support officers who visited the pack to explain some of the work they do.

PCSOs Dave Bowen and Mandy Ware spent the evening with the group to teach the Cubs how to stay safe with strangers and demonstrate some aspects of police work.

During the evening several Scouts were apprehended and locked in the cell of a police van.

Toby was arrested for creating a disturbance; Luke for causing a breach of the peace; and Louie for failing to laugh at one of Akela's jokes. They were all released shortly afterwards without charge.

Many of the Cubs had their fingerprints taken and were given them to keep as souvenirs.

They also had the chance to try on body armour and create their own photofit picture.

Cub Scout leader Janet Turner said: "We are very grateful to the PCSOs for visiting us. We have all learned a great deal and had a lot of fun."
