A kangaroo that escaped in northern Saarland on Monday is back with its owner. As the police announced on Tuesday, the owner in Wadern lured the animal and then caught it.

A 40-year-old driver observed it in front of her car on a street on Monday morning, the police said. Because the woman assumed that no one would believe her observation, she photographed the animal. A search for the kangaroo was initially unsuccessful.
