Just another day at the Canada/US border, or bratwurst bandits be warned
From this story on the CBC news:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is getting a pat on the back from Alberta RCMP for helping to nab a pair of Canadians suspected in a pepperoni theft.
Redcliff RCMP officers answered a break-in call at Premium Sausage, a shop in the village of Seven Persons in southern Alberta near Medicine Hat Thursday morning.
The culprits had allegedly smashed down the door and stolen a “large quantity” of beef jerky, sausage and pepperoni.
Police said they found a stolen truck with the meat inside at a campground in Cypress Hills Provincial Park, near the U.S. border. But the suspects had fled on foot
At about 3 p.m., they arrested two teenagers in a wooded area about 50 kilometres from the U.S. border with the help of an American aircraft with an infrared camera.
Ottawa granted permission to let the plane join the hunt, said Const. Bruce McDonald.
RCMP said they also got help from the Medicine Hat police, Cypress County, conservation officers, and concerned citizens to collar the sausage suspects.
Sausage suspects? What about Bratwurst bandits? Pepperoni pilferers? Ham hijackers?
