Police were left red-faced when they found a man who was suspected of having a shotgun did in fact have two didgeridoos.

Officers were called to a "report of a suspicious incident" in Tongham just after 2pm on Tuesday (July 21).

The caller was driving along the A331 just south of Aldershot when he spotted a man on the bridge over the A31 Hogs Back, carrying what he believed to be a firearm.

A police spokesman said: "Due to the nature of the call, armed officers were sent to the scene.

"The police helicopter was also deployed.

"A search was carried out and a man was located in the area.

"Officers established that he was in fact carrying two didgeridoos and the incident was closed."
