Music was blaring in the background, and when asked about it, a woman is heard saying that the squirrel did it.
“The squirrel turned it on?” officers asked.
Next, the thief and music lover is seen flying through the air, running on a countertop and then jumping on the nearest officer. The squirrel continued to run around until police managed to capture it and release it without injury.
The department shared video of the ordeal on Facebook.
**Squirrel starts New Year's party early**On December 29th, 2017 Brockport Police were called to a residence for a squirrel that had broken into the house, reportedly eating cookies in the kitchen. Officers Sime and Dawson arrived on scene but were not at all expecting the warm welcome they would receive from the squirrel. The squirrel was ultimately captured by officers and released without injury. The homeowner was very relieved that their uninvited guest was set free. Brockport Police will always go the extra mile to help their residents.
