Escaping pig escorted safely home by PC
Residents of Royston had a shock on the morning of Wednesday 11 November (2009) when they looked out their window and saw an adult pig eating their rubbish!
The hungry porker must have had enough of the horses company and decided to wander out of her field between Church Hill and Cronkhill Lane, Royston by escaping through a collapsed fence.
Officers from Royston Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) were called and PC Kathryn Airstone managed to lure the pig safely back home with the aid of a bag of potatoes, donated by a local resident.
Royston SNT PC Katherine Airstone said,
“The poor animal had obviously been feeling a bit daring that day and she took her chance when she saw the open fence.
“Luckily we were able to tempt her with food before she walked out in front of a car which could have been really dangerous for her and the motorists.
“You could say we saved her bacon!”
