The Biggest Understatement Of The Year

Sometimes I wish that every public relations person was British. You would not get a statement like this from an American police officer.

"The men had information and items that lead us to suspect that they may have intended to commit a criminal offense."

Now, why would a British police officer say this? Well, two guys were caught at Joss Stone's house in England with swords, rope and a body bag. They also had a detailed map of her house and property. The pair were spotted after they kept driving around and around the house and someone called the police.

I doubt the pair were just doing it for kicks. How do two people like this find each other? Joss Stone message board? Who the heck decides swords are the way to go on a kidnapping and murder? They seem a little awkward. But yes, it sounds like they may have intended to commit a criminal offense.
