In a post on Facebook, the Taber Police Service said the birds made their way out of town and "created traffic hazards."

A passerby spotted smoke coming from an Alberta farm yard around on Sunday afternoon, just outside the community of Wrentham. What they found inside was a suspected illegal marijuana grow-op with hundreds of plants.

Police said the trailer had hay bales on it and that some of the eight individuals involved were riding on the hay bales. The trailer reportedly rolled over those riding on the hay.
