Surrey RCMP say there was BԪַno hamming aroundBԪַ after Duckie the pig was on the loose in Surrey.

Police say Duckie, a 200-plus pound pig, managed to escape from his home BԪַunbeknownst to his ownerBԪַ and BԪַwhile on the lam, Duckie proceeded to enter a neighbourBԪַs yard.BԪַ

Duckie was approached by a resident, but Surrey RCMP said the pig was BԪַrefusing to answer questions from the resident as to why Duckie was in their yard.

BԪַDuckie acted out and bit the person on the buttocks.BԪַ

RCMP said the person wanted to get inside their house, but BԪַDuckie proceeded to block the front door, preventing the resident access to the house.BԪַ

When officers arrived, they came across the BԪַnot-so-little hog.BԪַ

BԪַThere was a bit of a stand off. Duckie began snorting and charging at the officers. They tactically repositioned and developed a tactical BԪַPig Penning PlanBԪַ (PPP),BԪַ .

Now on the street, RCMP said Duckie was in danger of being hit by passing vehicles, so they used an officerBԪַs homemade dinner to lure the pig into the back of the cruiser.

BԪַOnce he had a taste of the home cooking he could not resist getting into the (police cruiser) to have more. That is when the door was shut and this little escapade was over.BԪַ

Surrey RCMP said by checking with residents in the neighbourhood, they were able to find DuckieBԪַs family and return him.

BԪַAnd the not-so-little-piggy went wee, wee, wee, all the way home.BԪַ
