Altona Police Service members were successful in escorting the rogue pig out of town. Not long after the owner attended the scene and assisted officers in corralling the animal into a trailer.

Police note that the pig did not appear to have suffered any injuries during the incident.

-----------------------------------------------------

A runaway pig caused some confusion on Centre Avenue in Altona during the noon hour Monday. It is unknown where the animal came from or how it found its way into town but the sight of the creature walking down the road caused motorists to slow down take a second glance at what they were witnessing. The pig was last seen around 1 p.m. heading east towards Highway 30 and local police were in close pursuit.

We'll have more information as it becomes available.
