Sunday 14 September, 2008Emergency call! Couple having sex!

When shocked police officers answered a 999 call, all they could hear was what sounded like a woman crying and a man's voice in the background.

They traced the call and rushed to the scene. There they found a red-faced couple, who explained they were only "messing around" and had accidentally stood on the phone while they were making love

A police spokesman said: "It happened while they were having sex. The woman had depressed with her foot the '9' button on the phone which happened to be on the floor.

"It certainly put a smile on the faces of the police. We were just very relieved it wasn't a violent situation and that the couple were clearly getting on very well together."
