University Of Colorado Police Rescue 2 Trapped Raccoons

BOULDER, CO—No two days are ever alike for law enforcement officers. As several officers with the University of Colorado can attest, some days are certainly more interesting than others.

Although most days are spent helping people, recently it was several raccoons that needed help.

While on foot patrol Tuesday night, several officers said they heard some scratching noises coming from a trash dumpster on the north side of Humanities.

When they went to see what it was, they said they found two raccoons that appeared to be trapped.

Officers put together a couple of "escape devices" and placed them in the dumpster.

A few minutes later, the raccoons exited the dumpster and left the area.

Mission accomplished.
