Five mile police chase over toy gun

Like most little boys, Alfie Marshall loves playing cowboys and Indians with his friends.

But when the five-year-old left his toy gun in the back of his father's car, the game suddenly took a very serious turn.

After being alerted by an alarmed passer by, a police helicopter followed the car for five miles before a team of armed officers swooped on his parents.

"It was a normal toy cowboy pistol and looked nothing like a real gun. But it was perfect for my sons, who are typical young boys who love playing cowboys and Indians."
