A baby playing with a telephone inadvertently called police to his house in western Canada and to his ''very surprised'' father's marijuana-growing operation inside, police say.

 

Royal Canadian Mounted Police responded to an emergency call in which the caller hung up without speaking, Constable Janelle Canning said yesterday.

 

Officers entered the White Rock house, near Vancouver, after knocks at the door went unanswered, she said.

 

''The father was very surprised to see us and insisted he hadn't called police,'' she said.

 

''The officers then observed his 11-month-old child playing with a cordless phone, pressing buttons randomly.

 

''It appears the baby called us.''

 

During a routine search of the house, the officers also uncovered 500 marijuana plants in two locked rooms on the main floor. AFP
