KITTEN RESCUED FROM POLICE CAR ENGINE

- By LEWIS CLARKE

A TINY kitten is recovering after an unexpected journey beneath a police patrol car, prompting a multiagency rescue effort from Plymouth officers and local mechanics.

Officers based at Crownhill Police Station had an unusual start to their shift after hearing a faint meowing sound from the engine bay of one of their response vehicles on Sunday morning, October 19. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to reach the source of the noise, which was coming from deep within the car's wheel arch.
