Burglars are normally a bit bigger than the size of a small animal. Police in Missouri responded to a home invasion only to come face-to-face with a squirrel.
The Liberty Police Department posted body camera footage on Facebook that showed officers entering a home where an alarm system was triggered. “Noises could be heard coming from inside of the home,” the post said. “Officers entered the house. Noises continued.”
Believing it was an actual burglar, officers had their guns drawn and ready to shoot only to get a laugh when they discovered the suspect was a squirrel. “Oh, it’s right there, it’s a squirrel,” the officer said.
In the video, the officer let out a loud scream when the squirrel startled him by breaking into a run. Unfortunately, the police were unable to capture the squirrely suspect. A wanted poster at the end of the video stated that “Rocky the squirrel” remains at large.
