A renowned Birmingham poster prankster has been at it again - poking fun at West Midlands Police by plonking a cardboard ‘police robot unit’ outside a city centre station.
The mock box was spotted by onlookers outside Digbeth Police Station - with locals in the city branding Foka Wolf’s latest prank as their “best work yet”.
In a Facebook post , Foka Wolf quipped: “New delivery at Digbeth police station…”
The cardboard box features a poster with a huge robot on it with four bullet points including the description “no empathy”.
The mock brand - Megacorp - also has the slogan “profit before people”.
It was placed both directly outside the police station on Digbeth High Street and where officers enter the building on Allison Street.
The Facebook post has had more than 500 reactions.
Dan Brown commented: “Waiting for reports of a controlled explosion on a suspicious box by a police bomb disposal robot.”
While Foka Wolf replied: “This robot would beat the bomb disposal robot hands down.”
And Nigel Cracknell simply put: “Best one yet.”
It has been claimed the police robot prank relates to a job ad posted by West Midlands Police.
The force was looking for two Robotic Process Automation Developers with salaries between £27,795 and £38,925.
Candidates had to have “an interest and knowledge of the theory behind automation techniques, RPA software and artificial intelligence”.
The closing date was August 7.
Notorious joker Foka Wolf, meanwhile, is no stranger to pulling pranks across the Second City.
In May, it posted an offer of Voodoo classes for kids inside the Russell Road car park in Moseley.
The advert read “Make Dolls! Curse friends! Perform blood sacrifices!” and had the phone number 0121 318 8805 along the bottom.
A picture of children running and a Voodoo doll hovering above them dominated the sign.
Adding another level of sarcastic humour to the stunt was the sticker for Birmingham City Council Leisure and Culture pasted across the top of the notice board.
