When two teenagers from Peterlee, UK, threw mud at a passing police van, the department helped them “clean up their act,” enlisting them to clean police vehicles ... using toothbrushes.
“The consequences of throwing things at moving vehicles can be far more serious than these two realize, which I’m sure they’ve had time to consider while washing the cars,” Inspector Emma Kay, with the Peterlee Neighborhood Police Team, said in a press statement.
