Armed police and a helicopter were scrambled to reports of a tiger on the loose in the countryside - only to find the wild animal was a life-size model.
Officers responding to the call in Underriver, Kent, on Saturday were met by the sculpture's creator. "I took them down to the sculpture where they all had a good laugh and took a lot of photographs," artist Juliet Simpson, 85, said.
Kent Police said it found there was "no animal and no risk to the public".
