A suspect was arrested 30 minutes after the woman contacted the wrong police
force more than 3,000 miles away
Police call handlers saved a woman from an intruder 3,000 miles away in
Canada after she contacted the wrong force.
The team at Durham Police, England, were contacted via online chat by a woman
who reported an intruder in her home in Durham, Canada.
She had typed "I need help, he is in the house" before falling silent.
Realising the woman's mistake, Durham Police contacted their Canadian
counterparts and a man was arrested 30 minutes later near her home.
A spokeswoman for Durham Police said the call handlers kept the live chat
open while contacting Canadian officers from the Ontario province, who were
immediately sent to the scene in the town of Ajax.
A 35-year-old man was cornered in a nearby yard and Tasered.
'Unusual incident'
Police said the woman had been attacked and needed medical treatment.
A man has now been charged with breaking and entering, assault and forcible
confinement.
Insp Andrea Arthur, head of Durham Police's control room, said: "This was an
unusual incident and a very distressing situation for the victim, but the
team remained calm and managed to help our Canadian colleagues resolve the
situation quickly and professionally.
"If we can assist in rescuing a vulnerable victim in immediate danger,
regardless of where they live, we will do all we can to help."
