Passers by near a supermarket in Stuttgart alerted police last sunday when they stumbled over a pack of lobsters running down the street making good their escape.
The enterprising crustaceans had clawed their way out of storage crates in the early hours of a sunday morning, ran across the supermarket floor and slipped under security shutters to freedom.
Stuttgart Police with typical german efficiency have now rounded them up without casualty, and have arranged for the lucky lobsters to be delivered to an animal home, hopefully where they may survive their original fate.
