On Wednesday evening, police caught a wallaby on the loose in Kortenberg after it escaped from its owner.
At around 22:15, they received a report of a runaway wallaby in the Flemish municipality of Kortenberg.
As the animal moved quickly, it was difficult for police to locate it. It was only at around 04:00, that a driver found the animal and followed it from a distance until the police arrived.
With the help of 'Animal Rescue Services,' the wallaby was eventually caught in a garden of a house on Meerbekstraat in Kortenberg.

In the meantime, the wallaby's owner was identified and let it be known that he could no longer take care of the animal.
The animal will therefore be taken into a nature rescue centre by the 'Animal Rescue Services.'
The police is further investigating the circumstances in which the wallaby was able to escape.
