This Aug. 2, 2014 photo provided by the Alhambra Police Department shows a giant 150-pound tortoise who was found wandering the streets of Alhambra, Calif. The tortoise was lifted into a patrol car and taken to the station, where it was later picked up by Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control in Downey.

ALHAMBRA, California \u2014 At least officers didn’t have to issue a speeding ticket when they spotted a giant tortoise ambling down a street suburban Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n

The Alhambra Police Department joked on its Facebook page that the 150-pound (68-kilogram) reptile was captured\u00a0Saturday\u00a0afternoon after a brief pursuit.<\/p>\n\n

“The tortoise did try to make a run for it; but, our officers are pretty fast,” the post said.<\/p>\n\n

It took two officers to heft the hard-shelled creature into a patrol car. They then took the reptile to the local police station before turning it over to animal control authorities.<\/p>\n\n

Giant tortoises are not indigenous to the Los Angeles area.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
