The Local: Twenty years of police work down the toilet

8th December 2006


Police officers in the small town of Hagfors in western Sweden have finally made it through their massive stock of toilet paper, twenty years after a shock delivery first took over the local station. "There were times when we weren't sure we'd make it," said station chief Björn Fredlund.

The police chief could only look on in despair as a seemingly endless supply of products was unloaded from the truck. "He asked the driver to stop. But the driver said it would cost a lot of money to return the goods and that he would need it in writing. "Nothing was signed and the unloading continued," said Fredlund.

There was nothing for it but to get on with the paperwork. As a gesture of neighbourly goodwill, police patrols from other towns in the northern Värmland region would sometimes drop by

And this Thursday, 20 years after the original delivery, the final roll of toilet paper finally met its last police posterior.
