U.K. bachelor party helps dig police out of mud

NORFOLK, England, April 12 (UPI) -- A bachelor party group in the U.K. helped local police get out of a sticky situation after spotting the officers at a local lake.

England's Norfolk police shared photos of members of the 16-man group helping to free a squad car that had become stuck in a patch of mud.

"We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to this stag party of 16 who helped our Broads Beat officers in their moment of need!" Norfolk police wrote in an Instagram post.

The group were preparing for a sailing trip in the area when they noticed police attempting to free the car and the attached boat from the mud.

"They all mucked in to help push out our stuck truck and Broads Beat boat from the mud," police wrote.

Once the vehicles were free the group posed for a photo in celebration of their efforts.
