45-Minute Standoff With Tiger Ends When Police Realise It's A Stuffed Toy

A team of police officers from North East Police Division in Scotland's Aberdeenshire had a "roaring shift" on Saturday night. Late Saturday evening, police received a nervous phone call from an "extremely concerned" citizen. The man had spotted a wild animal on his farm, police said. To be precise, a big tiger.

Reacting to the alarming call, cops rushed several vehicles, including an armed response team, to the farm at Hatton, reports BBC. They also called a wildlife park in the vicinity to check if they had an escapee.

On reaching the farm and engaging in a 45-minute 'standoff', the cops realised that the tiger was actually just a huge stuffed toy.
