'Romaine Calm.' Canadian Cop's Pun-Filled Post After $45,000 Lettuce Theft

New Delhi: A Canadian police officer's pun-filled post on social media is getting lots of laughs. Constable Steve Welton, the Media Relations Officer with the Hamilton Police used a series of puns in a post urging citizens to "romaine calm" after a large truck containing lettuce worth $45,000 Canadian dollars was stolen. "Your information could be the tip of the iceberg and uncover a major theft ring," he wrote in the post. "Lettuce" work together to find the person, or people, responsible, the tongue-in-cheek post appealed. Hamilton police shared the post on its official Facebook page and Twitter account.

@HamiltonPolice @StephenWelton The size of the croutons it takes to 'leaf' with this much. They need to be 'tossed' in jail. If you 'carrot' all, you will retweet. pic.twitter.com/xaHeEg82Pk
