Watch: Moment police apprehend a runaway kangaroo in Colorado

Body camera footage captured by the Durango Police Department shows officers chase and catch Irwin the kangaroo. It's not clear how Irwin escaped from his home in the southwestern Colorado town, but kangaroos are permitted to be kept as pets in the state.

"We had an officer ask one of the deputies close by for a lasso, and I don't know how far out he was, so I was like, you know what, we have him cornered now, we might as well just try and apprehend him now", said Officer Shane Garrison.
