On May 7, Porcupine Plain RCMP responded to a theft complaint in a rural area. An individual had left some posts piled on a property they planned on fencing, only to find they鈥檇 gone missing.
Officers began investigating the post-plundering, but the caper was quickly revealed when the posts were spotted in a nearby waterway. 鈥淭he stolen posts were located in a beaver dam,鈥� explains Cst. Conrad Rickards of the Porcupine Plain RCMP Detachment. 鈥淎 beaver 鈥� or beavers 鈥� helped themselves to the stash of posts and used them to help build a dam. I tried locating said beavers but they were GOA (gone on arrival).鈥�
None of the beavers will face charges, he says. 鈥淲ho could really blame these little bucktooth bandits, considering the price of wood these days?鈥�
Porcupine Plain RCMP has now closed this extremely Canadian case.
