Pedalo sparks helicopter chase

West Yorkshire Police has defended its use of a police helicopter to chase two boys in a pedalo.
The helicopter was scrambled after the boys were seen taking the hire pedalo out on the water after closing time at Pugneys Country Park, Wakefield.

A police spokeswoman said it was impossible to put an actual figure on the cost of using the helicopter.

"The use of the helicopter is not governed by the seriousness of the incident," she said.

"It is judged on whether or not it can help bring an operation to a successful conclusion."

The two boys were later arrested after they beached the pedalo and ran away across fields.
