Animal action in the spa town: escaped goats and a broken fence were a challenge for the police in Baden. A hole in the fence was promptly used for a spontaneous reconnaissance tour. 

Their curiosity was simply too great: two young goats in Baden recently enjoyed their short trip to freedom. The two animals had left their "territory" on the Harterberg on their own initiative to explore new paths. Their excursion across the meadow caused quite a stir.

So much so, in fact, that the municipal police had to be called out to put the fugitive goats back on the right track. "Goats on the loose" was the alert to the police, who immediately set out on an animal rescue mission and escorted the young animals back to their enclosure.

The cause was also quickly found: A hole in the fence had made the spontaneous exploration tour possible. This was immediately repaired by the officials in order to keep future adventures at bay.
