Police catch escapee tortoise after tense 1mph chase through city

Officers from the Alhambra Police Department are going to have to send an edited version of their latest pursuit drama to the makers of Crazy Cop Car Chases.

A squad car was involved in the lowest-speed chase ever recorded when they were dispatched to arrest a tortoise that had made a bid for freedom from its owners.


The hardened criminal, an African sulcata tortoise (aka Clark), was found wandering the streets of Alhambra on Saturday. He had apparently decided to make a slow getaway when his owners went out to a baseball game.

Neighbours saw Clark’s escape attempt and contacted law enforcement officers.
