'Does It Look Like It Might Belong There?': Police Chase Kangaroo on the Loose in Texas
Texas police shared a hilarious call they received from a perplexed resident about a “kangaroo” on the loose in Lufkin on Sunday, May 19.
Dashcam footage shared by the Lufkin Police Department shows police cruisers crossing paths with the meandering marsupial, which the caller’s wife initially mistook for a dog.
“Does it look like it might belong there?” a puzzled-sounding operator is heard asking.
Police said that “Kangaroo Jack” was seen hopping along Fuller Springs Drive on a “Sunday stroll” after a gate was accidentally left open.
They added the escaped critter was safely return to its owners after giving neighbors a surprise. Credit: Lufkin Police Department via Storyful
