Three women screaming for their lives in a Brighton Rd house sparked a rapid Dunedin police callout.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said a neighbour called police about 11.15am yesterday, telling them they could hear a woman screaming loudly next door and a man telling her to calm down.
They calledpolice, fearing a domestic violence incident was taking place.
“On arrival, it was revealed that three young women were screaming at the address because of a mouse that had been discovered in the house, and they showed police a video of it.
“It’s good that we are being called to things like that, but obviously we’ve investigated and discovered that there was no criminal activity. So it was a happy ending.”
