Calgary police collar runaway sheep in city’s north end

Calgary police say they responded to reports of an unknown animal in Panorama Hills and captured a lamb, though its origin remains unclear.

Police captured a strange fluffy suspect in a northeast Calgary neighbourhood and they didn’t need special agent Mary’s help to do it.

Early Monday, the Calgary Police Service (CPS) was called to Panorama after a sheep was spotted running through the community.

Officers, with three bags full in hand, soon cornered the animal and took it into custody.

It’s unclear where the sheep came from, but CPS says it is now in the care of the city’s Animal and Bylaw Services.

If any other Calgarians happen to come across any other suspicious activity or farmyard animals in flight, the CPS says to contact them and they ‘wool’ handle it.
