Waihi's naughty piggy was up to more mischief last week.
Bess, the brazen boar, caused a big fuss 10 days ago when she wandered into Waihi. Last Wednesday (August 15) she did a runner again from her Savage Road pen.
Police say there was no pursuit through town and no KFC snack was needed this time.
Bess opted for a more healthy diet and was found at Cambridge Road casually munching on a neighbours' orange tree.
The pig was coerced back home by an embarrassed owner carrying a pig bucket.
Bess got a stern telling off from the police, although she offered no remorse and just grunted in reply. Waihi Police say they are considering fitting Bess with an ankle bracelet and imposing a curfew.
