Two reindeer, which caused a dual carriageway to be closed after escaping a Christmas attraction on a rural estate, have been caught.
The animals hoofed it from Elveden Estate in Suffolk on Sunday, where they had been taken to be part of a Santa's grotto event.
The pair wandered on to the A11 near Barton Mills, forcing police to temporarily close the road in both directions at around 3.20pm on Sunday afternoon.
Officers from Suffolk Police took part in attempts to recapture the reindeer, which were paused overnight.
"Their owners came back this morning and after several hours they managed to coax them back to them.".
She added: "They brought another reindeer with them, and with food, but it took a long time.".
"They escaped from their handlers and have now been recaptured and taken home to Lincolnshire safe and sound," she said. »
