Perhaps people would prefer these climbing idiots to burn the joint down, steal laptops or cause damage costing thousands to repair? If you`ve got an air asset only a fool would keep it on the ground in a case like this.

Does this really warrent the thousands of pounds it costs to get the helicopter up? They'll come down when their hungry, then the police can arrest them, or if they get hurt they've only got themselves to blame.

So that we are all clear, you have spent an entire afternoon with a helecopter costing £600 per hour - to search for three boys who are supposed to be on a roof... another fantastic example of exempler policing by Suffolk Constabulary... I feel safer already!
