Officers with the Apex Police Department had to herd the animals with a patrol car
Police in North Carolina say a group of farm animals escaped from their home and ended up roaming a suburban neighborhood last week.
"Is anyone missing their pigs and goat?" the Apex Police Department asked locals in a Facebook post shared on Saturday, along with photos showing the two pigs and one goat casually trotting in the middle of the road.
The trio of animals all stayed with each other during their journey and didn't run into any danger, according to the department's Facebook page.
