By - Rotorua Daily PostRotorua police officers tonight found themselves doubling as farmers as they herded horses and pigs off a main highway. Police were called about 6pm to State Highway 30 south of Rotorua, near the Youth Justice Centre, after reports of two horses wandering on the road. He said the horses made their way to the driveway of the Youth Justice Centre but then he saw three pigs had also broke free from their pen on the same farm. Mr Framp said police staff with the help of the Rotorua Lakes Council's Animal Control Unit and neighbouring farmers were able to get the horses and pigs safely back behind a locked gate. "I came back and found the pigs and thought 'what's going on here'."
