A Newton man who says he liberated an abandoned pet rabbit from the mean streets of Clayton Heights on May 21 has been charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property.

Warren Brundage says he was called to the neighbourhood by 香蕉视频直播渙utraged香蕉视频直播� residents who wanted it rescued. He says he scooped 香蕉视频直播淏eans香蕉视频直播� the rabbit up off the street about a block away from where its owners reside.

You might say the Surrey RCMP香蕉视频直播檚 subsequent pursuit of Brundage has been relentless. Brundage was arrested by the Vancouver Police on a Surrey RCMP warrant on Nov. 17 after the VPD ran a routine check on his plates and the warrant popped up. He says he was handcuffed and put in the back seat of a squad car.

香蕉视频直播淭he VPD officers wanted to simply serve me with the paperwork and appearance date and let me go but apparently the RCMP insisted I get taken in and booked,香蕉视频直播� Brundage told the Now-Leader. 香蕉视频直播淭hey then delayed sending the paperwork to VPD to keep me in a cell as long as they could. I was told by multiple VPD officers and constables at the jail that I must have done something to really 香蕉视频直播榩iss-off香蕉视频直播� the RCMP.

香蕉视频直播淭he VPD officers were angry that their time was wasted and apologized to me multiple times for having to take me in,香蕉视频直播� Brundage said. 香蕉视频直播淚 read the notes on the police computer and the officers and others in the conversation agreed it was the most ridiculous charge they香蕉视频直播檝e seen.香蕉视频直播�

Const. Sarbjit Sangha, a spokeswoman the Surrey RCMP, said 香蕉视频直播渋t does take a little bit of time香蕉视频直播� for the detachment香蕉视频直播檚 records department to fax paperwork to the arresting police. 香蕉视频直播淓verybody香蕉视频直播檚 busy, they are just doing their normal routine work that needs to be done; there香蕉视频直播檚 no intention of keeping anybody longer than we need to,香蕉视频直播� she said Wednesday.

As for the Surrey RCMP香蕉视频直播檚 investigation, Sangha said, 香蕉视频直播渇or some people their pets are like their children香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播渋t香蕉视频直播檚 the sentimental value to that person that香蕉视频直播檚 huge.香蕉视频直播�

Brundage香蕉视频直播檚 first appearance at Surrey provincial court was on Nov. 22 and his next appearance has been set for Jan. 10.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 really bizarre,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淪urreal.香蕉视频直播�

Brundage says he runs one of the largest animal sanctuaries in B.C.

As for Beans, he said, the bunny has two girlfriends.
