Police rescue lost seal pup after it was spotted hiding under a car on busy road

Baffled cops have rescued a lost seal pup after it was spotted hiding under a CAR in a busy town centre.

Officers discovered the grey-and-white youngster curled up by the rear tyre of the car in Grimsby on Thursday (January 13).

Writing on Humberside Police' s Twitter page, they said: “This morning we received a report of a seal near the town centre.

“Unfortunately, the seal didn't want to hang around, resulting in one of our slower pursuits.

“Happily, a local charity were able to help out and took our unofficial mascot to a Skegness sanctuary.”
