    Thanks for sharing this story! I think this might be Surrey, British Columbia, not Surrey, UK though: there are quite a few references to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police... :)

    I think you'll find the article is from Surry, Canada, not from the UK.

    Well spotted!
    I did wonder when they started having Mounties in Guildford... :)
