ONE of the U.K.’s largest police forces arrested Josie Birds, 93, because it was her “dying wish.”

Birds, a 93-year-old from Manchester, has spent her entire life on the “right” side of the law and wanted to know “what it was like to be naughty,” the BBC reported.

In a June 22 tweet, Birds’ granddaughter Pam Smith thanked the Greater Manchester police for the kind gesture.

Smith told the BBC that her grandmother, who has six daughters, 20 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren, was accused of robbing a grocery store. But it was all a part of the act.

Birds was handcuffed by off-duty officers and taken to the police station, where she was questioned “rigorously.”

“She wanted to go into the cells too, but they drew the line at that and gave her tea and cake instead,” Smith told the BBC.

Birds isn’t the only Brit centenarian who wanted to experience the thrill of being arrested. Last March, Anne Brokenbrow, 104, of Bristol, England, was arrested at her request, perhaps starting a new trend of straight-laced seniors wanting a salacious turn.(SD-Agencies)
