Officers admitted the photo gave them a chuckle but did urge parents to be careful on the school run.
A PSNI Newtownabbey spokesperson posted on Facebook: "Reports circulating on social media of a leopard escaping from Belfast Zoo are untrue but it did give us a bit of a chuckle when we saw this post...
"Doing the school run in a hurry let’s keep the speeds down..."
