Lancashire police search for mystery marsupial

Police in Lancashire have been looking for a mystery marsupial after people reported seeing one near Garstang.

Officers heard about a kangaroo crossing a carriageway in Winmarleigh while they were running a rural crime operation in the area at the weekend.



Lancashire Police's Dave Kerfoot said he had been sceptical but added that seeing a photo of the animal showed he may have been "overly suspicious".

He said police were investigating where the animal was from and who owned it. A police spokesman said there were suggestions that the animal was not a kangaroo, but a wallaby, which may have escaped from a nearby farm.
