Post by: EC on March 18, 2017, 11:42:51 am
Not many of us have got so drunk that we don’t know where we live.

But that’s what happened to one Cardiff University student who ended up getting help from the police and a bit of ingenuity.

The South Wales Police officers from Cathays police station used his phone to contact his friends on Facebook Messenger saying: ‘Hello it’s the police on Cameron’s phone. He is very drunk and we are dropping him home. He does not know what number…he lives on’

And when friends on the group were unsure as to whether the contact was genuine, an officer even posted a selfie of himself to the group to prove who they were.

Cameron’s friend Lawrence Court, 20, a member of the group said he was ‘surprised’ to have received the message from the police.
