A fugitive on four legs is evading arrest in Bucks County, and now police in Bensalem Township are asking for help to find the spotted suspect.

On Nov. 18 the department shared a photo of a pig that's been driving officers "hog wild" and eluded capture for weeks.

Police said some residents had fed the pig, but the grayish grunter with black spots has remained elusive.

Anyone who spots the sneaky swine is asked to contact the Bensalem Township Police Department's non-emergency line at 215-633-3719 and report the pig's location.

The department didn't specify where the runaway pig came from or where it was seen in the last several days.

Once in custody, police said the animal would be taken to a rescue and checked by a veterinarian before eventually being put up for adoption.
