The P.S.N.I. went on to say that the Bar Manager is willing to forget about the incident if the lamp is returned immediately.

"The bar manager is a kindly soul and appreciates people’s high spirits on a night out. He has merely asked for the lamp to be returned either to the bar, drop it into the front desk at Musgrave Police station, or email me on [email protected] no questions asked.

"Otherwise I will be more than happy to persuade the bar manager to make a formal complaint next week and the matter will be fully investigated, face pics and all," warned Officer Gillies.
