It was 03.45am when an unnamed man rolled into the McDonald at Catterick, North Yorkshire and asked for 15 Mig Macs and a coffee.

Police said it was the "most unusual job" of the night but officers managed to "avoid a high-speed pursuit. We'll be asking him a few interesting questions..."

North Yorkshire Police's Facebook post drew a number of responses, with many making light of the episode.

"While this is undeniably funny, they also could have caused a very serious accident", said one Facebook user, who thanked the police for intervening.
