A Halloween prank amused Kingston police at the weekend.
Officers were called to reports of “males dressed as traffic cones blocking the road like traffic cones” in the early hours of Sunday morning in Eden Street.
Five men in bright orange traffic cone outfits were blocking taxis and buses outside the town centre HSBC.

Kingston Police shared the description of the “very interesting” callout in a photo on Twitter.
The group were reportedly drinking in Pryzm before they started blocking traffic and had even posed for photos with police earlier in the evening.
