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 91裸聊视频渙utraged91裸聊视频� residents who wanted it rescued. He says he scooped 91裸聊视频淏eans91裸聊视频� the rabbit up off the street about a block away from where its owners reside.

You might say the Surrey RCMP91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淭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,91裸聊视频� Brundage told the Now-Leader. 91裸聊视频淭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 91裸聊视频榩iss-off91裸聊视频� the RCMP.

91裸聊视频淭he VPD officers were angry that their time was wasted and apologized to me multiple times for having to take me in,91裸聊视频� Brundage said. 91裸聊视频淚 read the notes on the police computer and the officers and others in the conversation agreed it was the most ridiculous charge they91裸聊视频檝e seen.91裸聊视频�

Const. Sarbjit Sangha, a spokeswoman the Surrey RCMP, said 91裸聊视频渋t does take a little bit of time91裸聊视频� for the detachment91裸聊视频檚 records department to fax paperwork to the arresting police. 91裸聊视频淓verybody91裸聊视频檚 busy, they are just doing their normal routine work that needs to be done; there91裸聊视频檚 no intention of keeping anybody longer than we need to,91裸聊视频� she said Wednesday.

As for the Surrey RCMP91裸聊视频檚 investigation, Sangha said, 91裸聊视频渇or some people their pets are like their children91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频渋t91裸聊视频檚 the sentimental value to that person that91裸聊视频檚 huge.91裸聊视频�

Brundage91裸聊视频檚 first appearance at Surrey provincial court was on Nov. 22 and his next appearance has been set for Jan. 10.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 really bizarre,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淪urreal.91裸聊视频�

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

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