Officers arrested so-called “chip bandits” Tuesday morning, after a Saanich homeowner awoke to find her salty snacks had been stolen from her garage.
At around 3 a.m., a Foul Bay Rd. resident was awoken by her growling chihuahua. When she investigated further, she heard voices close by and suspected someone had broken in.
After tip-toeing into her living room, she grabbed her cell phone and called 9-1-1.
Officers arrived on scene shortly after 3:15, and a police dog tracked the suspected thieves.
Police discovered the woman’s garage door had been left open and asked her to take a look around for missing items.
It was all there — except for a bag of barbeque potato chips and a swath of fabric.
Shortly after the discovery, police arrested two women, 22 and 24 years old. Police say both suspects were highly intoxicated and they were held over night.
Charges of break and enter are being considered.[/quote]

The way the officer held a press conference was fucking hilarious. Love how he had a sense of humour.
I want chips now

well..
yeah..
Canadian national disaster.
Did the police and media really have nothing better to do than hold a press conference and report on this frightening issue? Man, Canadians must love their chips.
Interestingly, those chips actually look pretty tasty...
The cop's just having the time of his life with this press conference.
You can tell its going to be another slow news week...
"Apparently the snacks had been accessed..
...there were some illicit chip-tastings."
Waste of money?
At first I thought it was The Onion.. was not expecting a real storty

Hush you, this is the biggest heist seen in the country for centuries.
They probably needed a good Saanich to go with those chips.
I live in Saanich. :V
What a strange thing to steal.
Goddamnit I wanted to see the heroic chihuahua.
"These are very specific, hard to obtain bbg chips"
I want to meet this cop now... he should've said "This gave me a chip... on my shoulder"
seems a bit excessive to press charges over a couple of packets of crisps.

Old Dutch BBQ chips are the fucking best.
Would be funny if in the end it turned out to be a publicity stunt, if we take the screen time of the chips in consideration :v:
that officer is seems unprofessional
seems like he can't handle the pressure when the chips are down
id risk being caught by the police, they look fuckin tasty
that was like 10 bags in that report, sweet jesus
the point of the story was keep a phone in your bedroom. only reason they got it on the air

This is like 2 minutes from my house. I didn't even hear about this until I came on FP.
well, yeah, that's because barbecue tastes AMAZING when you're drunk.
i bought these shitty little microwave TGI Fridays BBQ sliders, and they tasted like ass sober.
then i got piss drunk in the middle of the night, nuked them the fuck out and it was like tasting god.

i don't blame them, drunk's the only way to eat anything bbq flavor.
Is it breaking and entering if the garage door is open? Maybe I don't understand the definition of it properly.
Also that was hilarious.
