LAPD, well-known for car chases, and now a tortoise chase

The tortoise, whose name is Clark, was apprehended by two officers after a chase along LA streets.

“The tortoise tried to make a run for it, but our officers are pretty fast,” a police department spokesman said.

Clark is an African spurred tortoise native to the southern fringes of the Sahara. Tortoises like this run at a top speed of one mile per hour.
