Red squirrel found in Greggs released back into wild after 'enthusiastic first shift'

A red squirrel who got trapped inside a branch of Greggs has been released back into the wild. The rodent was first spotted in a branch of the popular high street bakery in Pitlochry, Perthshire on Saturday.

And after giving staff the run around, it was finally captured and released into the nearby Faskally woods on Tuesday evening. The store itself has remained closed for a deep clean.

On social media, Greggs made the most of the surprise visitor, keeping followers amused with their take on the incident. “Friendly locals offered their help to lure the Greggs Squirrel out," the brand tweeted.
