Cambridgeshire Police were called about the unusual object after a worried member of the public spotted a pair of feet protruding from the vehicle which was travelling down the motorway. But when officers tracked down the car, they didn’t find a body but a mannequin dressed as Prince Charming.
The call was made to Cambridgeshire Police force on Saturday, with the caller reporting they thought they had seen a body rolled up in a carpet inside the car.
The force said in a post on social media that “alarm bells were naturally ringing for the informant and our control room”.
Police stopped the vehicle in Angel Drove in Ely and officers quickly discovered the feet belonged to the mannequin, which was on its way to a themed birthday party.
Cambridgeshire Police commented: “When we received a call on Saturday lunchtime to reports a vehicle was travelling along the M11 with a pair of feet poking out the end of a rolled-up piece of carpet, alarm bells were naturally ringing for the informant and our control room.
“We managed to track the vehicle down in Angel Drove, Ely where our officers discovered there were indeed a pair of feet… belonging to a mannequin dressed as Prince Charming who was on his way to a themed birthday.
“Advice was given to the driver to avoid such circumstances occurring again.”
