PORCUPINE PLAIN β A rural resident living near Porcupine Plain had left some posts piled on a property they planned on fencing, only to find theyβd gone missing.
They called the Porcupine Plain RCMP May 7 about the theft.
Police said officers began investigating the post-plundering, but the caper was quickly revealed when the posts were spotted in a nearby waterway.
βThe stolen posts were located in a beaver dam,β explained Cst. Conrad Rickards of the Porcupine Plain RCMP Detachment. βA beaver β or beavers β 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].β
Rickards said none of the beavers will face charges.
βWho could really blame these little bucktooth bandits, considering the price of wood these days?β
Porcupine Plain RCMP said theyβve now closed this βextremely Canadianβ case.
