“Action was taken to remove the mice from the premises and there have not been any sighting of mice since.”A spokeswoman for the Met said that the ‘paperwork home’ set up on one desk by mice consisted of ‘paperwork that did not relate to operational police matters’.

Lambeth cops spend more than £25,000 on vermin exterminators last year, including £4,299 to get rid of ‘unwanted birds’ and £12,018 on ‘rodent or mammal extermination’.The sum also included £108 for ‘getting rid of geese’, although a police spokesman could not shed any further light on this particular expense.
Har!
They spent HOW MUCH??
I’ve got a better solution.
One cat.
1 cat will catch 2-3-4 per day…

How are mice in offices a news story?
Sheesh. Clearly humour bypass surgery is on special this week.
I suspect the costs associated with vermin control were those fall all of the police stations in the organization not just the one, although the article is not clear on that point. May be like citing one precincts costs vs the whole departments.
That’s nothing — I have two mice sitting on my desktop right now!
