Police tell Gloucestershire residents to pretend suspects are wheels of cheese — they comply

The unusual instruction, reportedly given to spur the pursuit, tapped into the county's famous Cooper's Hill cheese-rolling tradition. All five were detained, and no one has confirmed whether the tactic will be added to official training.
