Alexandria and some neighboring jurisdictions had to hoof it to catch some escaped horses on Telegraph Road yesterday.
Fairfax County Police Department helped the Alexandria Police Department secure the horses.
Both horses were safely returned to custody in ‘stable’ condition. Police did not respond to questions about how the horses got loose.
It was the ‘mane’ event on scanner traffic around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday.
“Confirming there’s… horses?” One officer asked. “Northbound on Telegraph?”
“That’s correct,” dispatch responded. “They’re approaching Duke Street.”
