Cops storm community centre after report of mass murder only to find the bodies were people doing yoga
COPS stormed a community centre following an emergency call to a mass murder — only to find the “bodies” were people doing yoga.
A distressed member of the public alerted the emergency services after seeing several motionless figures on the floor.
But the officers — who arrived with sirens wailing and raced to the venue’s cafe — returned to a more Zen-like state after finding those in the room were just dead relaxed.
It turned out the local yoga class had simply been meditating.
Bosses at the Seascape Cafe at the North Sea Observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Lincs, said on Facebook: “If anyone heard the mass of police sirens at 9.30pm last night, then please be reassured.
“They were on their way to the Observatory after someone had reported a mass killing in our building, having seen several people laying on the floor — which actually turned out to be the yoga class in meditation.”
Lincolnshire Police confirmed the emergency call was made at 8.56pm Wednesday “with good intentions”.
It said: “Officers attended and we are happy to report everyone was safe and well.”
The beachfront observatory’s cafe regularly plays host to yoga classes in the evenings.
Managers thanked officers for their “prompt response”.
And on the police drama, they added: “I can’t imagine for one moment what would have being going through their minds on the way.
“We are not part of any mad cult or crazy clubs.
“All in all, this situation turned out positive and we are of course grateful.”
