Eagan police bust 2 llamas on the lam

Police in the Twin Cities suburb of Eagan have made an unusual bust: two llamas on the lam.

The llamas were captured around 7:30 Wednesday morning.

Police spokesman Aaron Machtemes says the llamas had somehow gotten loose and were just hanging out along a road.

An officer posed with them for a photo op that the department circulated via Twitter.

Police then told the owner that the furry critters aren't allowed in that part of Eagan.
