A POLICING team has been left feeling “mixed emotions” after one of its newest recruits decided to leave the force following weeks of festive fun.
Bobby the naughty Elf enrolled at Essex Police’s Clacton Police Station at the start of December after a lengthy trip from the North Pole.
Eager to learn the ropes, the mischievous elf threw himself into his work, but also took great pleasure in causing trouble and cheekily misbehaving.
Constantly playing pranks on the Tendring Community Policing Team’s hardworking officers, Bobby’s antic were documented online, and he garnered a loyal following.
Unfortunately, the success and fame started to go to his head, so Tendring's District Commander Lily Benbow was left with no choice but to take him in for questioning.
