A warning to all those out there checking out crop circles - a farmer to shoot people entering one! Guess they are unhappy with all their crop being ruined.
The incident happened following the appearance of a crop circle in fields close to the village of Allington, near Devizes, Wiltshire.The group of tourists fled and called police, who sent armed officers and a helicopter to the scene at around 2pm on Monday.
The 300ft crop circle is thought to be of an ancient bird.
Nearby Cannings Cross Farm lost thousands of pounds worth of crops in 2007 after a 500ft pattern appeared in a field.Wiltshire Police said a 62-year-old man, from Oldham in Lancashire, had been arrested for possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
He has been released on conditional bail pending further inquiries.
A spokesman for the force could not confirm whether the man worked on the land
