Turbo, an African spurred
tortoise, recently escaped from his home in south central Houston. His
frantic owner thought he had been stolen and filed a police report with HPD.
The next day, a neighbor saw Turbo and called police to report a very large
tortoise walking in the area. Officers tracked down the tortoise and realized
it was Turbo. Pictured here are South Central Patrol Officers Traconis
(next to Turbo), Tse and Kang (in the background). They were able to reunite
Turbo with his ecstatic owner.
This goes on record for the slowest police chase we’ve ever
encountered!
