Jail workers were stunned when confronted by the lovable Peanuts character waving a gun. When the comic-strip beagle and an accomplice failed to break down a staff door, they pelted prison officers' cars with concrete missiles.
A prison service source said yesterday: "It's not every day you see a giant cartoon dog going on the rampage after trying to break into a prison. "They weren't exactly inconspicuous - but it was taken seriously because they appeared to have a gun. They caused a real commotion and it was only later they were found to be armed with a water pistol." The duo were arrested and it then emerged they had targeted the WRONG jail - the family member they wanted to free was banged up elsewhere. Snoopy and his un-costumed sidekick tried to get into HMP Isle of Wight's Albany site, while the relative was in the complex's Camp Hill jail. The insider explained: "They are very close together but this has got to rank as one of the worst attempted jail breaks ever." Constabulary spokesman said two men, aged 43 and 21, were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and detained under the Mental Health Act after the May 1 incident. It is not clear which man wore the costume. Ruff-ian ... Snoopy costume POLICE have collared a man who was trying to break into prison to spring an inmate while dressed as SNOOPY.
