Harris served as a member of the service from 2004 to 2012, earning accolades for his tenacity and skill in finding offenders and helping the police service solve crime. He was an excellent ambassador for the Service, attending many community events over the years.

Harris officially retired on Jan 1, 2012 and spent his remaining years living in the county, enjoying an abundant vegetable garden buffet.

Watch A Young Raccoon Vandal In Bridgenorth

Barry Mortin shot hilarious video (scroll down below) from his bedroom balcony in Bridgenorth of a regular visitor—the Raccoon Vandal—they get...

"She was after bird food," Mortin tells PTBOCanada. "She had been coming at night but I started bringing the feeder in after dark. She then started coming in the afternoon and gorging herself. Sometimes she would bring a friend—likely a brother or sister."

Also note in the video how the suet feeder has been opened and emptied. That is also the work of this raccoon, Mortin tells us.

She's cute enough to let her get away with the vandalism, Mortin notes. See for yourself...
