Police in Peterborough felt like they had been thrown into a fairytale world when they were called to The Cresset due to reports of a 'dispute between three sisters'...

When neighbourhood officers arrived, they got two of the sisters to calm down in the back of the van while speaking to the other sister called Cinderella.

Just as they had managed to settle things down, someone claiming to be Cinderella’s fairy godmother turned up to get her all cleaned up ready for a ball that evening.
