German police get run-around from escaped wallaby

  • A wallaby is currently at large in Berlin after escaping its private owner, prompting a public advisory from local police.
  • The marsupial was first reported on Sunday morning, meandering through the western Spandau area of the German capital.
  • Berlin police initially dispatched officers but have since ceased active pursuit, as the animal is not believed to pose an immediate threat.
  • The public is advised to keep their distance but maintain visual contact if the wallaby is spotted, and to notify police or the Berlin Animal Catcher.
  • Chief Inspector Martin Halweg highlighted the extreme rarity of such an incident, noting that Berlin police are not equipped with specialist tools for capturing wallabies.
