Armed police officers captured an unlikely suspect bouncing through a Florida neighbourhood.
After receiving a call about a kangaroo running loose, Fort Lauderdale police officers managed to capture him and put him in a police car.
In bodycam footage, one officer is heard saying: "I am so happy I have this on bodycam. Bob, in your how many years have you ever seen a kangaroo?"
The marsupial was taken to a barn where the police force keeps its horses.
Anthony Macias, who claims to be the kangaroo's owner, told the Sun Sentinel he had been hoping to bring his pet, Jack, home, but police told him the animal won't be returned, because Fort Lauderdale isn't zoned for kangaroos.
Mr Macias said he was at work when he learned Jack had escaped.
"I was taking out the recycle bin, and I didn't shut the gate all the way," Mr Macias said. "I guess he just punched his way through."
Jack was first spotted about a block from Mr Macias's home around 9.30am, officials said. Police officers followed him for three blocks before grabbing him.
Mr Macias said he got Jack about four months ago from a man who was moving and did not want the animal anymore.
Mr Macias also has a Corgi named Max. "They love each other," he said. "They play and run around."
Officials weren't sure where Jack would end up, but Mr Macias said he has friends in Palm Beach County who are permitted to house kangaroos.
