Facebook Prank by a Fisherman regarding Gold Bar Launches Police Investigation
What would you say to a Facebook Prank by a Fisherman regarding Gold Bar which Launched Police Investigation. As per a report:
A fishing trawler crew’s prank backfired after they posted photos on Facebook of a fake gold bar and were met by police as soon as they docked.
The fishermen boasted that they had found 11 bars of bullion worth £1.5m when if fact the metal was an old brass bracket. Skiller Billy Anderson, 36, had to explain to police that it was simply a piece of scrap his boat landed while fishing for scallops and not bullion rumoured to be on the seabed from the infamous 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery, where £26million was stolen from a Heathrow warehouse.
Mr Anderson, who works for TN Trawlers in Arran, and his crew of six cut up the bracket with an angle grinder so he could trick his fiancée into thinking that they were suddenly rich, according to The Sun. The fishermen’s boasts quickly spread throughout other boats, and Mr Anderson was met with requests to give the precise location of his find, 16 miles off Falmouth in Cornwall.
Mr Anderson, from Dumfries, Scotland, had to persuade his fiancée, Claire Muir, 29, not to go on a lavish shopping spree and eventually told his boat’s owners the truth after they prepared to send two more vessels to the site.
