Police use golf buggy to track down an absconder
A MODE of transport usually only seen on a golf course was used by Isles of Scilly police while arresting a man who had failed to appear in a mainland court.
With no conventional police vehicle available on car-banned Tresco, Sergeant Colin Taylor and PC Collier delivered the absconder, in his thirties and working on the island, to Tresco heliport by golf buggy.
