Police in India's Haryana state believe they have found a novel way to tackle a plague of mice infesting official records and destroying evidence.
They have started using a pair of domesticated white rats to scare the mice away.
Rodents are a huge problem in India, consuming tonnes of grain intended for human consumption every year.
The experiment has now attracted the attention of animal experts, who think it could be a solution to the problem.
Senior superintendent Arshinder Singh Chawla said: "It is working like magic."
"My men have been releasing them in the Moharar Maalkhana [record room] every night and the pests have just disappeared."
