Search dropped after the treat!

Several uniformed men detailed as a search party had recently been sent on the post- Easter Sunday duty to an area bordering a forest reservation.  

The search party on arrival in this area had been given a warm welcome by a group of followers of the politico ruling the roost there.  

Later the search party had been hosted to a grand party. Following this treat the search party had decided that there was no need to look for swords, Kris-knives and bombs possibly cached in the area and returned to their base, they say.
