Police in Canada recently received a very unusual case in the area. On Jan. 22, there was a report of a robbery at the Lionsheart Wholeness Center Resort in Lily Lake, north of Edmonton.
It turned out that a strange raid had been carried out in the dead of the night. Because it was not money stolen, but a huge bass measuring 3.6 meters long.
Carefully planned
In the middle of the night, as the mercury on the thermometer dropped to minus 30 degrees, someone broke into the property and simply stole a stuffed polar bear.
Resort manager Wanda Rowe told local media that the thieves cut the cables that were connected to the fully erect giant located on the second floor balcony.
