CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — A tortoise that went missing earlier this month was safely located off a busy Clearwater road by police.
“There’s a new #petdetective in town,” the Clearwater Police Department said.
Sgt. Price saw the slow-moving critter on South MLK Jr. Avenue and grabbed the animal from the roadway.
But she realized he looked a bit too clean to be an outdoor tortoise, with a “pristine undercarriage.”
Sgt. Price later discovered the animal, an African Sulcata Tortoise named T Pain, was reported missing as a runaway in early November near South Missouri Avenue.
The images shared above show T Pain reunited with one of its owners.
