Inverness police get into the Christmas spirit with catchy, festive warning to criminals
ByReporter
Police in Inverness have been tweeting warnings to festive revellers to the tune of the Christmas song Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
The tweets from the Police Scotland account @InvernessPolice urge people not to fight, drink and drive or steal.
The words include: “He sees you when you’re thieving, he knows when you’re gonna breach.”
“If you’re going to drink drive, you better think twice, The Constables know if you’re naughty or nice. Police Scotland’s coming to town.
“You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not fight I’m telling you why, Police Scotland’s coming to town.”
Written in the 1930s, Santa Claus is Coming to Town features in Elf, a hugely popular Christmas movie.
It has also been sung in the past by US rocker Bruce Springsteen.
The police also used another festive tune earlier in the week to spread the message:”Jingle Bells, the cell block smells so don’t get locked up. Keep your temper under control, it’s not where you want to wake up, Hey!”
