Thuringia: police operation because of a crowing rooster

Friedrichroda (dpa/th) - A crowing rooster triggered a police operation in Friedrichroda in the Gotha district on Tuesday. A 51-year-old reported to the police early in the morning and said he heard a little boy scream for his mother in the area of ​​the outdoor pool in the Finsterbergen district. On site, it turned out that the noises were not attributable to a screaming child, but to a crowing rooster from the neighborhood. "The man apologized for triggering a police operation, the officers took the case with humor," the police statement concluded.
