Grandmother raided over bird nest block

Police grilled a frail gran of 81 about a sparrows' nest.

Two officers knocked on shocked Anne Mee’s door to question her about allegedly blocking the birds’ access.

They asked to come in and look around, saying neighbours claimed builders she hired to work on her roof may have stopped the birds getting to their nest.

The police only went after Anne assured them the birds had just been collecting twigs from the roof.

Kent Police said: “We did what we had to do, it is a criminal offence to intentionally harm wildlife by denying access to their nests.”
