Anne Arundel, Baltimore County Police Rescue Turtle, Bunnies
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Now that spring has arrived, so too have critters large and small.
Officers from the Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County police departments both helped animals in distress Monday and Tuesday.
An Anne Arundel officer in the eastern district snapped into action, helping a turtle cross the road on Monday. Perhaps the animal was trying to reach a nearby Shell gas station for a snack, police joked on Twitter.
