Police Thursday were looking for the owners of a chunky black pig found wandering around an Indio neighborhood.
The Indio Police Department received several calls Thursday morning about that a pig seen roaming near the area of Arabia Street and Avenue 44.
Police responded and quickly spotted the hoofed mammal they named “Carnitas.”
“He put up a little #piggyfit but with some help from IPD Officers and Animal Control, he was safely loaded up and transported to #thepighouse,” an Indio PD social media post reads.
Anybody wishing to claim the pig should call the Riverside County Department of Animal Services at 951-358-7387.
