Tim Hortons customers in O'Leary, P.E.I., must have done a double-double take last week when a Coast Guard helicopter made a quick stop near the coffee shop.
According to Dwayne Barlow, who took pictures of the landing, one person got out of the helicopter. It's unknown whether the person went inside Tim Hortons.
