Goat to be kidding: Officers herd animals to safety

St. Thomas police were quick to become goat wranglers after a herd of wanderlust animals escaped.

The group of goats departed from their enclosure in the area Sunset Drive and Fingal Line sometime on Thursday.

In the group of curious farm animal's potentially motivated plan to get a taste of the grass beyond their pen, St. Thomas police were able to gather the escaped crew safely from the road.

No goats were injured during the incident, however, police said the nearby ditch received a grass trim courtesy of the rebellious troop.
