Cambridgeshire Police dealt with an unusual incident after an impromptu hot air balloon landing.

The Wisbech Neighbourhood Policing Team were out on patrol in rural villages on Monday June 16 when there was a "you can't park there" moment.

A hot air balloon, which was believed to have taken off from Deer Park Way in Thorney, landed on the road on the Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire border.
