Limb bin armless 'joke'

A PRANKSTER’S jape “got out of hand” when he left fake bloodstained body parts hanging out of a neighbour’s wheelie bin.

Police swooped on the suspected crime scene after getting calls from the public.

But as they began sifting through the bins, a resident flagged them down and explained it was a practical joke that had backfired.

Officers later confirmed that the limbs were fake.
