Sometimes when it’s nearly midnight and there’s a hissing possum in your shower, the only ones to contact for help are the police.
Proving officers never know what type of call will come in, that’s the situation Delta police were asked to assist with in Ladner on May 30.
“Forewarned about what he might be facing, the officer brought an animal control pole with him,” said DPD on its Facebook page. “The possum had its lips drawn back, was foaming, and releasing a foul smell. The officer managed to carefully pull it from the shower, and successfully released it back into the wild. There were some extenuating circumstances as to how the possum got into the shower – don’t ask, because we can’t really say - but we’re cautiously optimistic we won’t be getting a similar call.”
