During a cannabis raid in British Columbia recently, Royal Canadian Mounted Police encountered something strange; they found 13 bears guarding the marijuana crop.

“As the members are conducting the search of the house, at one point in time the (home owner) has to shoo a bear out of the residence and out of the way, coming out of the basement,” he said.
