At 4:22 this morning, RCMP received a report of a break and enter in progress at a retirement home in Selkirk. The suspect? A one antlered buck, still stuck ins...ide the home. Upon arrival, officers assessed the damage and determined the buck had gained entry by jumping through a glass door, losing an antler in the process. Once inside, the scared animal caused havoc but was quickly contained to an area of the home away from residents. In the hopes he’d simply leave the same way he arrived, officers opened a second door in the area and waited, but the poor buck likely feared losing his other antler through the portal and instead chose to remain at the scene. Realizing they would have to guide him out of the building, officers used furniture to create a path to the open exit door, however with only 20/100 eyesight, the buck simply couldn’t find it. Finally, an hour and a half later, when he was completely surrounded by furniture and officers holding up blankets, the buck realized the wide open door was right in front of his nose and jumped away to freedom. The cause of the incident is still under investigation but officers have not ruled out the possibility that he saw an attractive Christmas deer decoration through the window. The broken antler was seized. No humans were injured. #ThisIsWhereWeWork #MBMonday
