Bathtub Security..

This one is simply a light one.

Triumph for national security as President’s shampoo stolen

TWO PEOPLE were arrested on Friday after they were caught trying to steal President Tassos Papadopoulos’ shampoo from his home.

The two cleaners, believed to be Sri Lankan, were caught attempting to walk out of President Papadopoulos’ home in Strakka by officers of the Presidential guard. The two Sri Lankans were led to a local police station nearby and quizzed by officers over why they wanted the President’s shampoo.

Charges were set to be brought against the two before it was eventually decided to let them off with a warning.

Politis newspaper, that uncovered the story, sarcastically described the story as “a triumph for national security” under a cartoon picture of the President in a bathtub with rubber ducks with a hand in the corner swiping a shampoo bottle from a shelf.
