A lot of crazy things can happen in a city as big as Vancouver.
While most crime is heartbreaking, sinister, and downright wrong, sometimes there can be calls for police that are amusingly unusual.
Thanks to the Twitter account @ScanBC —which reports on all sorts of police involvement in Vancouver—many of these ridiculous situations are tweeted out for all to enjoy.
Here’s just a few of the various things Vancouverites have gotten themselves up to in 2017.
