Police were left embarrassed after they staged a daring rescue of a "lifeless woman" - only to find out it was a SEX DOLL.

Officers were responding to a report from neighbours who were concerned by a woman who had been standing still for a prolonged period of time.

The team, in Amsterdam, who attended the call said they witnessed a woman dressed in her underwear from outside, but when they rang the doorbell she would not answer.

When they broke down the door, they said on a Facebook post that they "indeed found a lifeless woman," but she was "made of plastic and filled with air" as she was a sex doll .

Police say that they moved to doll away from the window to prevent any future confusion.

It's unclear whether they have spoken to the resident about the call.
