.@NottsPolice say the 'killer clown' craze stops being funny if you end up in prison or give someone a heart attack!

.@NottsPolice have told Capital that the 'killer clown' craze stops being funny if you end up in prison, get knocked out or give someone a heart attack.

Inspector Steven Ragg, from Notts Police, says they're investigating their very first report, where someone, dressed as a clown, jumped out of some bushes in Toton, terrifying the woman walking past.

There have been other reports in Loughborough with Leicestershire Police telling Capital they've taken several reports of clown sightings but no criminal offences have been made.

It's thought the craze began in the States.
