Two police officers have successfully apprehended a pig after he was caught hogging all the greenery in some people's gardens.
The large black hog was spotted in the Southtown area of Great Yarmouth at the weekend acting like a swine and being a menace to the Norfolk residents. Fortunately, PCs Joe Pike and Richard Bladon were on hand to apprehend the pig.
They tracked down the hog and took him into their care. The officers decided it “seemed a bit harsh to arrest the pig for criminal damage”, so instead referred him to a local animal sanctuary.

Inquiries at the scene suggested the pig was someone’s pet, but this could be the work of someone telling porkies - as his owner has not been found. Police said they were grateful to Hillside Animal Sanctuary for taking the pig in “before he turned to bacon in the heat”.
Posting on Facebook, they wrote: “As an officer, you think you’ve seen it all, but PCs Joe Pike and Richard Bladon had a new experience on Saturday morning (13 August) after they were called to the rescue of a big black piggy munching its way through gardens in the Southtown area of Yarmouth.”
Photos from the scene show police cordoned off their latest 'result' before taking him to the sanctuary.
