Little Girl Treed By Hissing Racoon Gang

The Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service is being credited with diffusing a situation between a young girl and a group of raccoons.

Crews received a report of a girl trapped in a tree on Mill Lake Road and when they arrived they found the 12-year-old roughly three metres from the ground.

She was sharing the tree with a family of raccoons, but she felt trapped because every time she tried to get down from the tree, they would hiss and growl at her.

The raccoons finally ran further up the tree when a ladder was placed against it.

Firefighters were then able to help the girl down safely and uninjured.

Man Breaks Out Of Maximum Security Prison Using A Spoon

Sky News reports that 33-year-old Oleg Topalov escaped from Matrosskaya Tishina, apparently by using a single spoon to dig a hole through his cell’s ceiling.

He is only the fourth person in 20 years to escape from the prison. Russian investigators have blamed Topalov’s escape on the prison staff, whom they say engaged in a "dishonest or careless attitude to their work that was made use of by the prisoner Topalov."

Topalov, who was sentenced for double murder and arms trafficking, used the spoon to create a hole in the cell’s roof, opened a ventilation shaft and then climbed to the prison’s roof, finally escaping over the building’s perimeter fence.

"Because of the building being rundown, Topalov had no difficulty in widening the vent of the air-shaft, through which he got to the prison’s roof,” Russian Federal Penitentiary Service representative Kristina Belousova told RIA Novosti. “Using sheets tied one to another he managed to go down the wall, then jump over the fence and run away.”
