THE man in red has been spotted over Newton Abbot – local police report.

About an hour ago Newton Abbot Police Station posted this picture on their Facebook page saying: ‘About an hour ago we heard the sounds of jingle bells in the sky, as we looked up we could see a low flying object above Newton Abbot Police Station.

‘Luckily we managed to quickly grab a photo of Santa passing by…’

The Mid-Devon Advertiser wishes Newton Abbot Police and all our emergency workers a very happy and hopefully peaceful Christmas.’
