Dramatic armed siege ends with assault...and vinegar

A full-scale siege in Sheffield came to an end on Wednesday when the suspect gave himself up to police - eating a packet of crisps.

Armed officers with semi-automatic rifles were baffled to see the 26-year-old man - unarmed apart from a packet of Quavers - scampering out from his hideout wearing a pair of sunglasses and a cheeky smile. He was immediately arrested - apparently 'on suspicion of assisting offenders' - but not before scoffing down the remainder of his delicious potato curls. https://twitter.com/SheffieldStar/status/631554771233718272 The incident occurred on High Street Lane in Sheffield, with the property was surrounded by armed police, mounted officers, the Force Crime Unit and even a police negotiator. Officers cordoned off the area, whilst a police helicopter flew overhead. But when it came to the crunch, it was all for nothing. The frame-grilled steakout ended with the suspect giving himself up.
