NOVA.SCOTIA (CBC) - A deer caused a commotion in a Tim Hortons store in Glace Bay, N.S., over the weekend.
The deer smashed through the front window of the Cape Breton coffee shop on Commercial Street early Saturday around 5:50 a.m., frightening employees who were working in a back room.
The employees thought thieves had broken in and called Cape Breton Regional police.
Sgt. Jerome Kelly said the two employees had no idea it was a deer that crashed through the glass.
"They could hear the smashing and banging and figured it must have been an individual doing a break-in," he said.
Officers found a deer trapped between two glass doors at the front of the building.
"The deer was continually banging at both doors, but it was too small to get enough momentum to break the glass. But he was continually banging it, which made staff feel that there was somebody in there firing things around."
When police arrived on the scene, Kelly said, they were able to get a key to the front door and let the deer out.
The deer ran off with only a minor cut to its back leg, he said.
