Sheffield North East Neighbourhood Policing Team mocked the Burngreave arrest in a Facebook post, where they wrote: “Bah humbug officers stop man from getting his KFC”.
It comes after officers in the suburb stopped a vehicle which was seen to be ‘acting suspiciously in an area well known for drug activity’ and searched the car after the man said he was "just picking [his] mates up to go to KFC”.
