Police called after men dressed as traffic cones block road in epic Halloween prank

In one of the most bizarre crimes that occurred over Halloween weekend, police in the United Kingdom were dispatched when a group of men dressed as traffic cones took their costumes a little too seriously.

ITV reports that Kingston Police sent out a tweet about the incident report early Sunday morning. The report states simply, "males dress as traffic cones, blocking the road like traffic cones."

Theochari added that although he didn't spot the police on the scene, the prank did make him laugh.

Kingston Police told ITV that although they could see the humor in the situation, they advised the men to stay off the road.
