Police in America have managed to wrangle a pig “the size of a mini horse” using some very creative tactics.

Officers received an unusual radio call on Saturday, reporting a giant pig roaming loose in a Los Angeles neighbourhood.

In a written statement, the San Bernadino County Sheriff’s Department says responding deputies “knew where he lived… due to previous calls”.

“They lured him back home with Doritos one of our deputies had in her lunch bag.”
