Alpaca Escapes Trailer Near Hotel, Ends Up Near Land Rover Dealership

MOUNT KISCO, NY — Police helped safely put an end to a serious case of alpaca drama in Mount Kisco.

The Westchester County Police Department said that while they usually get all sorts of interesting 911 calls, the one they received at 10:09 a.m. on Thursday was especially unique. The caller told them that there was a llama on the loose on Kisco Avenue.

Police said that the animal on the lam was actually an alpaca, but admitted that the caller's description was "still a pretty good initial description compared to some we get."

Police said the alpaca decided to slip out of a trailer near Hotel MTK on Pat Reilly Way. The animal then made its way to Kisco Avenue, near the Land Rover dealership. WCPD suggested that "maybe it was looking to upgrade its ride?"

Officers Mirko and Rodriguez rounded up the alpaca safely and took their new furry friend back to the Green Street precinct, where the animal was reunited with its grateful owner.

"We're taking a guess here, but we think somewhere there's a kid's birthday party that went on just as planned," WCPD surmised describing the day's events.
