An extremely Canadian story has come to light near Porcupine Plain.
On May 7, RCMP responded to a theft complaint in a rural area after an individual had wooden posts for fencing suddenly gone missing.
However, upon investigation, it was revealed that some beavers had taken the wooden posts as they were found at a nearby beaver dam.
“A beaver – or beavers – helped themselves to the stash of posts and used them to help build a dam,” said Cst. Conrad Rickards of the Porcupine Plain RCMP Detachment. “I tried locating said beavers but they were gone on arrival.”
He said none of the beavers will face charges.
“Who could really blame these little bucktooth bandits, considering the price of wood these days?”
