Over the Fourth of July weekend in New Milford, Pennsylvania, the Great Bend Police were received an unusual case about a charge of loitering ducks outside of a Susquehanna County gas station.

Officer Sheehan found the friendly, quacking foursome had wandered to the back of a local grocery store – the Pump and Pantry.

Authorities then called the owner of the ducks Cindy Osiecki, but it was a call she thought she’d never receive her entire life. According to reports, Cindy didn’t know what to say when police called:

“I thought it was funny. I’m like ‘are you serious?’” Cindy asked the officers. “They were like ‘yeah we took them’ because I guess people were trying to take my ducks, and everyone was feeding them, even the cop fed them bread,” continued Cindy. “It’s not like they wander far from home. That was the first time that I ever saw them go up to the Pump and Pantry because normally they go to my neighbors. Our ducks are famous and they’re cool and awesome.”

“I was just so thankful they found my ducks and they took them in to be safe,” Osiecki added.

When the department posted the photos of the ducks on their Facebook page, the post was shared more than 500 times. The Great Bend Police Department couldn’t have been more gracious, along with their generous amount of humor to make the news and to make us smile.
