LIVERPOOL, England -- Police who thought they were searching for human remains had egg on their faces when they found their quarry -- a mask made of bacon. Police said they were tipped off by a burglar who had broken into the home of artist Richard Morrison and claimed he had seen a head in a jar.
Police got a search warrant and broke into the house on Aug. 11, where they found a mask made of bacon, preserved in formaldehyde in a jar, the Liverpool Echo reported yesterday.
"It's obviously a very macabre piece of work, but I never expected it to get this reaction," Morrison told the newspaper.
"The police told me that the burglar was terrified. He had a crisis of conscience and confessed his crimes to his mother."
The Merseyside police department apologized and said it would repair damage to Morrison's front door.
