Dandenong police put a bunny bandit behind bars after it broke into their car park.
Officers spotted the wascally wabbit peering from beneath a car at the Langhorne Street station during their morning coffee break on Monday 5 June.
Acting Senior Sergeant Kym McKenzie said the intruder hopped for freedom, with police in hot pursuit.
“We tried to coax it out with some grass and he did come out for a little nibble, but when we tried to grab him he hopped back under the cars,” she said.
“He decided to do a few laps of the car park.”
It wasn’t a carrot that lured him out.
“I believe one of the other girls managed to nab him with some apple – he has a sweet tooth,” she said.
Act Sen Sgt McKenzie said little Bugs appeared to be an escaped pet on the hop.
She urged the rabbit’s owner to hop into the station with a photo to prove their claim.
Any-bunny with information should call Dandenong Police Station on 9767 7444.
