Cone zone monitors target students

Wolverhampton University students are being targetted by West Midlands Police keen to see the return of more than 100 yellow traffic cones stolen from local streets. The police have launched a month-long amnesty in an attempt to see the cones returned and are putting up posters across the university because, according to a police spokesman, "it is thought that students may be some of the worst culprits of the cone collecting craze." A cone costs around Pounds 3.50.
