OK, so it's not quite the Canadian Rockies, it's Porthmadog in the Snowdonia National Park, and the Mounty in question is a certain local constable.
This local PC diligently followed up the facts behind some bloke casting my boat adrift on the early morning of the 15th July. I am pleased to report that the perp has been nailed. He owned up to the offence and has been fined under the public order act a fixed penalty of £80.
Given that he allegedly untied my boat and cast it adrift to get at the mussell bed that lies underneath, I reckon that's the most expensive bucket of mussells he'll ever collect.
Yes, I know - I'm one of those who on previous occasions has criticised NW police over their record of catching motorists vs criminals.
Equally, I will be the first up to say "hats off" to the local constabulary who did a first class job in a short timescale...and doubtless they have a million and one other more pressing things than my boat!
I do like local policing where it counts....locally!
