South Belfast Police found themselves attending a most curious call late last night (Sunday 17 July).
Investigating street crime, road traffic accidents, assaults - these are all part and parcel of a police officer’s job. But the escape of a pot-bellied pig? That is something else entirely.
But this porky individual was found wandering around the roads near Ballylesson, to the south of the city, and a call was put in to the local police. They duly sent a van out and rescued the poor blighter, before returning the pig back to its owner and fellow hogs, all safe and sound, and none the worse for its experience.
