Bag containing police property falls out of helicopter

Post by memory man »

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

A serious incident involving a police helicopter took place at noon in the Episcopi area of Limassol.

Around 13:00 a bag containing a police radio fell out of a police helicopter out on patrol in the Episcopi area looking for a missing 82-year-old man at the time.

The bag was discovered by a local police patrol who radioed the helicopter to inform them of the development.

Within the bag there was a police radio that was completely destroyed, a helicopter helmet and other miscellaneous objects.

The police chief Stylianos Papatheodorou is being briefed on the incident currently so that a formal investigation may be ordered as according to protocol no helicopter door may be opened unless charged items are tied down.

It would seem that it was fortunate no one on the ground was injured

Yes! Imagine the damage it would have done had the bag landed on someone's head. That would have been incredible bad luck!
