Pennsylvania police pursue persistent pig pedestrian

Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Authorities in Pennsylvania are hot on the trail of an unusual suspect "wanted for evading police" -- a loose pig.

Bensalem Township Police said on social media that officers "have been going hog-wild trying to capture this little porker for the past few weeks."

Police said the pig has become a local celebrity on social media, and some residents have reported feeding the "slippery swine."

The post asked locals to report any sightings of the pig so it can be apprehended "before he runs into the street and breaks his little piggy."

The department said the pig will be taken to a rescue and put up for adoption once it has been captured.
