18 Chinese police officers dispatched to rescue sex doll from river

When Shandong police received a call reporting a body floating in one of the province’s rivers on July 11, they wasted no time dispatching 18 of their finest officers to recover it.

As the police struggled to bring the corpse to the shore, rumor of the incident spread and a crowd of over 1000 spectators gathered, blocking traffic and preventing firefighters from reaching the scene.



Finally, 40 minutes later, Chinese police succeeded in recovering the body. Only, it wasn’t a body, but an inflatable sex doll. As the “body” was floating about 40-50 metres from the riverbank, it was difficult for the police to see what it actually was until it had been brought in closer.

After confirming that they had run around in a panic for nearly an hour over trying to rescue someone’s former plaything, the police presented it to the anxious crowd, who quickly covered their children’s eyes and walked away.
