Mounties On Play-Doh Duty At B.C. Daycare After Operator Suffers Medical Emergency

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Nov, 2016 02:32 PM
    LANGFORD, B.C. — Some Mounties on Vancouver Island were put on Play-Doh duty this week after a daycare provider suffered a medical emergency and had to be taken to hospital.
     
    Police say they were contacted by B.C. Ambulance after a Langford daycare provider called 911 and had to be transported to hospital as a precaution.
     
    Three West Shore RCMP officers went to the daycare and provided “babysitting services” to the four young children there.
     
    The officers looked after the tots — playing with balloons, singing songs and making French fries out of Play-Doh — until their parents could come and pick them up.
