Four-Legged Home Invader Smashes Door A deer that broke into a house on Church Street last week still hasn't been accounted for. Neither the Durham Regional Police nor Clarington Animal Services know the whereabouts of the deer that crashed through the front door of 85 Church Street on Canada Day. Detective Craig Greentree, who was on the scene just after the incident Thursday afternoon, says he tracked the animal for more than an hour but was unable to locate it. The last he heard, it had jumped into a yard in the Centre Street and Carlisle Avenue area, The deer took resident Dorothy James by surprise. She was sitting in her dining room when "all of the sudden sudden this explosion happened." The deer came running through the tall trees at the front of the James' property property and directly through the front glass door. Neighbours helped Mrs. James out of the house. Then they trapped the deer in the front room to get Mr. James, who was in the back sunroom at the time of the incident, out of harm's way. The deer, which suffered a number of cuts coming through the front door, left a trail of blood as it made its way out the living room and down the hall into the kitchen where it tried to escape through a window. After unsuccessfully unsuccessfully attempting to jump through the kitchen window, the intruder eventually eventually make its way back out the front door. Witnesses say the deer was in the house for about 10 minutes. Mary Jane Macon, of Clarington Animal Services, says the deer wouldn't wouldn't normally come into a residential area. However, it could have been chased in by coyotes. It is possible that the deer has made it back out of town. However, if it is found in distress, animal animal services should be contacted immediately. GRIM EVIDENCE - Cut by shards of glass, the frightened deer left pools of blood in the house before escaping.
