A radar recorded someone who was almost twice the speed limit. It turned out to be a duck and a

An image of a radar of a speed criminal captured in the center of Switzerland last month revealed that the culprit was not only a duck, but probably a “repeated criminal,” local authorities said.

The Police in the city of Koniz, near the capital, Bern, was amazed when they passed through radar images on April 13 to discover that a Malardio was among those trapped in the speed trap, the municipality said on its Facebook page during the weekend.

The duck was caught going 52 kilometers per hour (32 mph) in an area of ​​30 km, the post said, along with a fast bird photo.

The story, first reported by the Berner Zeitung newspaper on Monday, became even more strange.

It turned out that a similar appearance duck was captured flying in the same place exactly at the same speed, exactly on the same date seven years before, according to the Facebook publication. The authorities called the duck a “notorious corridor and a repeated criminal.”

The municipality said it had considered whether everything might not be a late joke from April Fool or a “false” image.

But police inspection said it was impossible for a doctor or manipulating the radar system.

Computers are calibrated and tested every year by the Federal Institute of Metrology (Goals) of Switzerland, and the photos taken are sealed, the municipality explained.

The Facebook publication concluded: “We hope you enjoy reflecting on curious coincidences, animal criminal activities and the maximum flight speed of the ducks.”
