Tortoise being put in police vanimage copyrightSuffolk Police

A giant tortoise managed to make it about a mile across a town before being apprehended by police.

Titan, who weighs in at a whopping nine stone (60kg), was found in Kesgrave, near Ipswich, on Friday.

It took three police officers to lift the wayward pet into a van and drive him home to his worried owner.

Richard Aston said it was a "mystery" how Titan made it that far as he had not broken through his shelter. "Maybe he teleported there," he said.

When police called Mr Aston, he was not at home so had no idea his 35-year-old pet African sulcata tortoise was on the loose.

"There was no sign of the fence being broken, and he can't jump over it - it's three feet high," he said.

Tortoises burrow. 

Although a tortoise of that size would leave a very obvious clue of having done so. 

Don't think they're at all suited to this climate, unless a hot dry Summer. Often they don't make it through hibernation.

Looks like another example of police brutality to me. Or, at the very least, indecent assault.

They will be turning it over and putting their knee on its neck .

Note who they use latex gloves as well easy to throw away so nobody to blame , surely they are not afraid of catching covid off it
