Rockland Police say they were met with a surprise on Thanksgiving Day. When officers arrived around 1 p.m. at a local retailer they found a large front glass window smashed out and items knocked over inside the store. Police secured the entry and exit points, then began their search of the building for what they thought were burglars still inside the store. While clearing the building, they were met with a "fawn-tastic surprise": a white-tail deer that was "possibly trying to get a head start on Black Friday shopping!" The deer left the store on its own without any merchandise. It was not seriously injured.
