A man was arrested in Britain as he tried to break into a prison to free an inmate while dressed as Snoopy, a character from comic strip Peanuts.

Thesun.co.uk reported on Monday that jail workers were stunned when confronted by the Peanuts character waving a gun. When the man dressed as Snoopy and an accomplice failed to break down a door, they pelted prison officers’ cars with concrete “missiles”, it said.

“It’s not every day you see a giant cartoon dog going on the rampage after trying to break into a prison,” the report quoted a prison service source as saying.
