LANGFORD, B.C. — Some Mounties on Vancouver Island were put on Play-Doh duty this week after a daycare provider suffered a medical emergency and had to be taken to hospital.

Police say they were contacted by B.C. Ambulance after a Langford daycare provider called 911 and had to be transported to hospital as a precaution.

Three West Shore RCMP officers went to the daycare and provided “babysitting services” to the four young children there.

The officers looked after the tots — playing with balloons, singing songs and making French fries out of Play-Doh — until their parents could come and pick them up.
