Reports of a tiger escape in Kent see armed police rush to scene

A wild cat was reported to be on the loose in Kent, leading armed police to begin a frantic search across the countryside of the southern county.

The tiger was really just a model made out of chicken wire and resin and constructed by local sculptor Juliet Simpson, reports The Guardian.

The 85-year-old sculptor made the life-sized tiger model 20 years ago and it now lies in the countryside near her home in the village of Underriver, near Sevenoaks.

So you can imagine her surprise when a neighbour called her to say the police were on the hunt for a wild cat near where she lives after someone had claimed to have spotted one.
