A woman was stalked in Germany, she reported the matter to Police, who duly arrested the stalker …..

North Rhine-Westphalia is a country in the western Federal Republic of Germany . The state capital is Dusseldorf , the most populous city is Cologne .  The country was captured in 1946 by the British occupying forces  and since 1949, North Rhine-Westphalia is a state of the Federal Republic of Germany. The North Rhine-Westphalia Police is the National Police of the German state with a total of about 50,000 employees.

Away in Worcester in England,  a "drunk" squirrel  caused hundreds of pounds of damage at a private members' club. The secretary of Honeybourne Railway Club said he originally thought someone had broken into the premises, near Evesham in Worcestershire. The floor was covered in beer and glasses and bottles smashed,  and it stated that people  saw a squirrel "staggering around" after coming out from behind a box of crisps.  The club which estimatedly  lost about £300 in the incident, eventually caught the squirrel in a waste paper bin and released it out of the window.

Stalking is unwanted or obsessive attention by an individual or group toward another person, mostly women. Stalking behaviours are related to harassment and intimidation and may include following the victim in person or monitoring them.   A Victim help website advises that : - If you are stalked, it is not your fault. People who use controlling, harassing, or threatening actions are responsible for their own behavior. If you believe that someone may be stalking you, you can: Contact the police;  Tell a parent, friend, school principal, or another adult you can trust.

A woman was stalked in Germany, she reported the matter to Police, who duly arrested the stalker …..  it makes news because the stalker was a ‘ squirrel ’that followed a woman through the streets and she could not escape it.   The incident occurred in Bottrop in West Germany; Police responded her emergency call and apprehended the small creature. 

German news agencies and MailOnline reports that an  aggressive squirrel that stalked a woman through the streets of a German city was 'arrested' by police. The worried woman reported the 'nutty' incident to police in the city of Bottrop on Wednesday, after she thought she was being followed by the creepy creature. After failing to shake the animal off her tail, she made an emergency call to police officers, who attended and promptly put the little squirrel behind bars.

While being taken care of at the police station, officers worked out that the rodent was showing signs of exhaustion and fed it honey and slices of apple, reports The Local.  A video of a Police woman feeding the animal using a pipette and wrapped in a blanket has been viewed more than 300,000 times. In a statement, the force said once the squirrel is well rested it will be passed to an animal welfare centre.

Strange are the ways of people !
