 Reports are pouring in from Bridport residents that mysterious small metal cylindrical objects are being found by members of the Bridport public going about their daily business. Dorset Police have identified the objects as ‘spent cartridges’ of the type typically used with a Canadian issue 7.62mm C3A1 sniper rifle (commonly known as ‘the sniper’s choice’). A police spokesperson said, “Cartridges of this description are of the type believed to be used by a local stealthy assassin known as ‘The Bat’ ”.
Bridport police officers have left no turn unstoned during their diligent enquiries. One vital piece of evidence, which has come to light, is a delivery note addressed to ‘The Bell Tower, Bucky Doo, Bridport’. The delivery note details a consignment of 800 hundred rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, which was delivered to a mysterious shadowy figure dressed in a black ninja outfit. The delivery note was signed by a ‘Mr T. Bathe’, an anagram of ‘tHe bAt’.  Bridport Radio has exclusively obtained this photo of the ‘shadowy dark figure in a black ninja outfit’ from the closed circuit television camera mounted on a pole in South Street.
The CCTV camera just happened to capture on film the first possible confirmed sighting of The Bat, (AKA The Bridport Ninja). After zooming in on the figure in Bucky Doo and gratuitously manipulating the photograph to enhance its scare factor, we can see that The Bat likes nothing better than to relax in the evenings wearing a jet black ceremonial kimono made of the finest silk which is tied at the waist with a tasteful climbing rope. The design includes a very nice AK47 motif on the sleeves and hem. Local Bridport Police Officers followed the investigative trail which led to the upper floor of the Town Hall. High in the dusty rafters of the attic area immediately above the council chambers police officers carried out a careful forensic examination of the vicinity. Footprints left in the dust indicated that recent activity had been taking place near the ladder leading to the bell tower area.  A dead mutilated sky rat similar to those removed A police spokesperson (they no longer have spokesmen as that would be sexist) said, “The fact that the cheese sandwich was only half eaten in no way reflects badly on the standard of cheese sandwich sold by Hussey’s. Why, many a time I have stopped to pick up a box of donuts at Hussey’s, and the staff and service are excellent. In fact, only the other day while buying donuts for the lads back at the station, I commented on how fresh and tasty the cheese sandwiches appeared. Unfortunately this fell on deaf ears, and I wasn’t offered a free sample”. One theory being explored by the local constabulary was stumbled upon accidentally in the dusty backrooms of Bridport Police Station. A local officer of the law who wishes to remain anonymous gave Bridport Radio this statement: “ I was sipping my mid morning cup of coffee and chewing wistfully on my pre-paperwork vanilla donut with sugar sprinkles when I happened to glance at the map on the wall in the sergeant’s office. Lots of little red mapping pins had been placed carefully at every location in Bridport where a spent cartridge had been found. Personally I think blue mapping pins are more appropriate to an organisation such as the police, but the Sergeant is from up North and there’s no accounting for taste. Suddenly it hit me! ….. Vanilla donuts should have chocolate sprinkles, not sugar! …………. Some time later I also noticed the locations of the found cartridges could be joined up like one of those dot to dot pictures!” A representation of the map in the Bridport Constabulary Sergeant’s office appears below for the delectation of all Bridport Radio readers. 
As can clearly be seen when the map locations are joined up using a red wax crayon, a strange and sinister shape can be seen to emerge. That shape is the outline of a BAT! Since Bridport Constabulary have stepped up their hunt for the The Bat sightings have been even rarer than usual. However, the closed circuit television camera in Bridport Library caught the The Bat on camera returning an overdue book.  While in the library our very own Bridport Ninja sorted out a chav who was using his mobile phone in the reference section. No one knows exactly what The bat took exception to, or even what a chav was doing near so many books with no colouring pictures. But the whole amazing event was caught on film which can be viewed by the Bridport public right here...
The jury is still out on The Bat. Vigilante hero or mad psychopath? Who knows? But one thing is for certain. Having been flushed out of his bell tower lair, he should be considered dangerous. Any persons having any information regarding the whereabouts of The Bat should report to Bridport Police station where they will be immediately placed into protective police custody for their own protection.
