INDIANAPOLIS — Animal control officials entered the home of an Indianapolis woman to remove 29 baby raccoons, according to a local report Wednesday.

According to the spokeswoman, the homeowner worked as a wildlife rehabilitator, but her permit expired. Ten of the raccoons had to be euthanized because of health problems, but the other 19 were taken to a wildlife rehab with proper permits.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officials said the raccoons will be released back into the wild.
