A rugby player has accused police officers of trying to hack the phone he had used to record them taking a break - locking it for a staggering 42 years.

Management trainee Jake Coplestone, 20, used his mobile phone to record footage of five officers outside a bar and coffee shop.

The Newbury RFC player was arrested and spent the night in a police cell before being released - without his iPhone.

But when the handset was returned five days later it had a screen message stating: 'iPhone is disabled, try again in 22,461,058 minutes' - more than four decades.

He claims this was due to the handset being tampered with repeatedly in a crude effort to crack the password.
