Durango Police Capture Runaway Kangaroo

In a lighthearted incident on September 18, Durango police were called to capture a red kangaroo that had escaped its home following an alarm activation. Body camera footage shared by the police department shows officers giggling as they pursued the marsupial down the street, demonstrating their disbelief at the unusual situation. The kangaroo was eventually apprehended and safely returned to its owner, with Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirming it is legal to own such animals in the state. The police humorously remarked on the unexpected chase, stating, 'Who knew kangaroo wrangling was part of the job?' This event mirrors a similar occurrence in Florida where a kangaroo had escaped after a bear entered its enclosure. The officers involved expressed a newfound appreciation for cardio after their unusual 'high-speed chase.'
