Elderly Yodeler Causes Police Alert
Thu Jul 18,10:46 AM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - German police investigating reports of screams coming from an apartment said Wednesday they had found a 76-year-old woman practicing for a yodeling diploma.

 

Neighbors called police after hearing noises coming from the flat in the western town of Offenbach near Frankfurt.

"The officers weren't able to judge whether the neighbors were unfamiliar with Bavarian folk music or whether the lady still requires a lot of practice," police said in a statement.

Earlier, police in the city of Aachen said they had cautioned a man for screaming in a forest to relieve his stress. The man's yelling had frightened neighbors.
