Police investigate theft of piglets

Posted: Updated:
ATHENS, Ga. -

Police in Athens are investigating the theft of piglets that were being kept as pets.

The Athens Banner-Herald reports that a woman told police Monday that someone stole the pair of piglets from the back yard of a home sometime over the weekend.

The woman says the 6-month-old pigs were rescue animals she kept as pets.

Police say a neighbor on Saturday filed a complaint with Athens-Clarke County Animal Control, claiming the pigs were in violation of a zoning ordinance.

However, Animal Control officials told police that they did not take custody of the pigs.
