A chipmunk is at large after it infiltrated a police station in Pelham, New Hampshire over the weekend.
The Pelham Police Department shared a video Sunday of the offender who appeared to be short, cute, with four small legs, a bushy tail and striped down its back scurrying between desks. Police joked that the creature had burglarized the station:
“Several of us tried to corral him. He wanted nothing to do with us,” Sgt. Brian Barbato told the New Hampshire Union Leader .
The chipmunk continued to evade capture and was likely still occupying the building on Monday, Barbato said. If an animal control officer manages to detain the suspect with a squirrel-sized humane trap, officers will reportedly mull whether or not to press charges.
