Culmination

w00t! Latvian SWAT to the rescue!
They must be so proud ;)


A police SWAT unit was called out to a gas station in the Latvian capital early Friday after a wild boar was spotted wandering around the facility.

"We received a call at about 2:00 am (0000 GMT) and sent out special operations unit 'Alfa'," state police spokesman Aigars Berzins told AFP Friday. "The boar was about three years old and had wandered in from a wild animal yard," he said.


Such yards are becoming more and more popular in Latvia, and are often set up in wooded suburban areas near big cities. "The wild hog had broken the fence and got out. It was not afraid of humans at all," Berzins said.

Without using either special weapons or tactics -- the first letters of which give SWAT units their name -- the elite police unit rounded up the boar and took it back to the yard.



Yeah, a magnificent culmination of all that hard work. *amused*
