- Prankster got his son to hide in a wheelie bin and wait until binman approached
- Martin Fretter of Daventry cut holes in the bin so Nathan, 12, could hide inside
- The pranked rubbish collector swore in shock but eventually laughed at the gag
A prankster customised a wheelie bin so his son could hide inside and startle rubbish collectors when they came to empty it.
Martin Fretter, 47, cut holes out of the bin for his youngest son Nathan’s arms and legs for the prank on collection day yesterday in Daventry.
Nathan, 12, crouched down inside the bin and waited, looking through a slit that had been cut in it, for the perfect moment to jump up.
Hilarious footage shows unsuspecting garbage collectors emptying bins into the dustcart as usual until one approaches Nathan.
Nathan suddenly leaps up inside the black plastic bin, startling the bin man who swears in shock, before joining in with his colleagues’ laughter.
