Badger Found Wandering The Streets Of Longton

A large badger has been rescued after members of the public spotted it roaming the streets of Longton. Police are now appealing for the owners of the animal, which answers to the name of "Chubb", to come forward. An expert from a badger sanctuary in Trentham has given the animal a clean bill of health.

Attempts to trace its owner by showing a map to the badger have been unsuccessful.

The badger, described as tame and lazy, was found eating some Monster Munch on Manhattan Road. Police spokesman Barry Shanks said: "It is not every day that you come across lost badgers in Stoke. We have fingerprinted the beast and taken a DNA sample but we are no further along in the investigation. I can assure you the badger is not wanted in association with any crimes."
