Someone Forged A Police Statement. Thousands Believed It.

South Yorkshire Police had to deny reports of a figure at Meadowhall — and of Thing One and Thing Two.

A TikTok user published a fabricated South Yorkshire Police statement claiming officers were aware of a 'suspicious figure described as a cat in the hat' in the Meadowhall area and were taking it seriously.

The force told The Independent it had received no such reports 'anywhere in South Yorkshire for that matter', adding it could confirm 'no recent sightings of his associates Thing One and Thing Two.'

Reported claims were also logged in Lowestoft, Stroud, Leeds, Whitby, Radcliffe and Sheffield — most of them the same images with a new town name typed over them.
