Police and Maple Ridge Mystery Team cracks case of possessed pumpkin patch pilferer

Maple Ridge, B.C.- A possessed pumpkin patch pilferer’s plans were foiled by a team of pesky kids.

In early October, Ridge Meadows RCMP, with the assistance of MR Mystery Inc, began investigating multiple reports of pumpkins mysteriously disappearing from doorsteps all over the City.

On October 28, 2022, the Mystery Team, led by Fred Rodgers, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers and Daphne Blake, received a tip that there might be a connection to a large pumpkin pie facility on a rural property located in East Maple Ridge.

Team member, Shaggy Rogers, utilized the stupendous sniffing abilities of his long-time canine companion, Scooby Dooby Doo, also known as Achilles. Motivated to solve the case and obtain some delicious Scooby Snax, the police dog was able to track and locate a suspect facility.

The Mystery Team was able to unmask the possessed pumpkin patch pilferer’s ominous plot before it was too late. The masked henchmen was none other than Mr. Peter Pumpkin himself. It turns out that he was mad at local-pumpkin-farmers for their pumpkins having too many seeds and undercutting his pumpkin pie profits.

Mr. Pumpkin will be remanded until his court date of November 1, 2022.

Ridge Meadows RCMP wishes everyone a safe and Happy Halloween.
