A police officer had to do a double-take while patrolling the city’s streets when he spotted what seemed to be a suspicious character lurking in a high window.

The officer was in Warkworth Street in Cambridge when, looking up, he saw a suspicious male figure looking down. Alarmed, the officer did a double-take, only to see the figure was, in-fact, a life-size cardboard cut-out of television character Ron Swanson.

Ronald Ulysses "Ron" Swanson is a fictional character, played by Nick Offerman, from the television series Parks and Recreation.

A police spokeswoman said: “An officer was walking along Warkworth Street this morning when he did a double take when he spotted the cardboard cut-out of Ron Swanson.”
