WARRENSBURG, Mo. — With dangerously frigid temperatures expected in the Midwest, police department officials in a Missouri town are asking criminals to cool it.
The Warrensburg Police Department posted on Facebook with a plea to would-be criminals.
The department suggested that people should be nice to one another and watch reruns of “Say Yes to the Dress.”
“Can you keep the criminalling to a minimum? It is REALLY cold out,” the post reads. “Do yourself (and us) a favor … stay inside.”
The comical post has been shared more than 5,500 times on Facebook since it was posted Monday night.
A wind chill of minus 25 can freeze skin within 15 minutes, according to the National Weather Service.
