A police officer who arrested a suspect in the UK was then forced to ask for a lift to take the man to the local police station. Worse still, the person the policeman asked was the suspect’s mother. The incident occurred when the policeman accidentally locked his car keys inside the boot (trunk) of his patrol vehicle, along with items he recovered that he assumed to be stolen.

However, the suspects neighbours were rather amused at the curious sight and stood and the roadside, jeering with derision.
