Local Men Get Swedish Message

ADELAIDE AIRPORT: Local identity Captain Doobie and cohort Goodtime Slim have been arrested following an incident at Ikea, at the Adelaide Airport. The pair were first charged with Behaviour Likely To Cause A Breach Of The Peace, to which was later added the charge of Resisting Arrest.

Police spokesman Superintendant Farch told assembled media that Police had first received a call from frustrated Ikea personnel. When officers attended the scene they apprehended Mr Doobie in what appeared to be a lion costume, and Mr Slim in what appeared to be a witches’ outfit, replete with broom.

The pair were said to be known to the officers attending.

According to bystander’s accounts the pair had entered the furniture store some hours earlier but had then disappeared. They were not seen again until an elderly customer, Miss Eileen Pooffe, inspected a large wardrobe whereupon the two men leapt out and attempted to force upon her an unknown substance, later discovered to be Turkish delight. The two men were then detained by store security until police arrived, whereupon they attempted to evade capture by leaping from wardrobe to wardrobe, a tactic which failed when 'Captain' Doobie's tail got spectacularly caught in some loose wainscoting.

A spokesperson for the pair, Ms O’Trousers, corroborated this version of events and stated that “They’re fluppin’ eejits, the pair of ‘em. I hope they get locked up!”

A bail hearing has been set for this afternoon.
