A wallaby was sighted running free on the Norfolk and Suffolk border, leading Suffolk Constabulary to issue a police appeal. The initial sighting occurred in Ilketshall St Andrew, with another report following in Wisset, seven miles away. The origins of the wallaby remain uncertain; it could be an escapee or part of the wild population in Britain. Local residents have expressed surprise at the sightings, and police have encouraged residents to report any further sightings to them or the RSPCA.
A wallaby has been spotted running loose in countryside on the Norfolk and Suffolk border, triggering a police appeal. The first sighting of the animal, commonly associated with Australia, was on Monday in the village of Ilketshall St Andrew.
With no local animal sanctuaries yet to come forward to claim the wallaby as missing, it remains unclear whether the wallaby is an escapee, or one of Britain's wild wallabies.
A spokesperson for Suffolk Constabulary told The Independent: 'If spotted residents [are] asked to call [the] police or alternatively the RSPCA.'
Locals have spoken of their surprise at the sightings. 'He's getting around isn't he?' a worker at local pub The Huntsman and Hounds in Halesworth told The Independent.
