In a pursuit that involved two law enforcement agencies, a pair of zebras managed to outrun authorities in suburban Chicago for more than two hours.
That's according to a rep for Illinois State Police, who says the wild chase occurred over the weekend in Pingree Grove after the zebras broke out of a pen at Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch.
Despite being pursued by a bevy of officers from the State Police and the Pingree Grove Police Department, the zebras stayed one step ahead of their pursuers until about 7:30 Sunday evening, authorities say.
The zebras, which weren't injured, have been returned to the pumpkin patch.
