Cracking down on goose thefts

REXBURG (AP) - Police in the eastern Idaho city of Rexburg plan a crackdown on prank goose thefts from the Rexburg Nature Park.

Police said someone captured two geese from the park and placed them inside an apartment on Tuesday, causing an unknown amount of damage.

Capt. Randy Lewis said it's illegal to tamper with or remove wildlife from the nature park.

He said it's the third time this year geese have been taken from the park.

In the two other incidents, the geese were found wandering outside student housing for Brigham Young University-Idaho.

Lewis says there will be consequences if police catch whoever is taking the geese.
