Stick 'em Up!

Operation toy pistol: Police swoop on Wild West theme party after guest is mistaken for gunman
| Mail Online
: "The Wild West party for the Worthingtons' silver wedding anniversary was getting into full swing.

Guests dressed as cowboys were heading from the church where the couple had renewed their vows to a hoedown booked at the pub.

But the local lawmen headed them off at the pass.

Acting on a report that a gunman was on the loose, armed officers in four squad cars swooped while a police helicopter hovered overhead.

A passer-by had dialled 999 after mistaking the revellers for real-life gunslingers."

Hat tip to Gary Dobbs.
