Drone Search Expands for Runaway Wallaby in Williamstown, N.J.

Police deploy drones after sightings near a Williamstown Walmart.

Overview

  • Rex remains at large as New Jersey authorities use drones and a pet-locating team to scan areas of recent sightings.
  • The three-year-old escaped Lots of Love Farm in Williamstown after a gate was likely left unlatched, according to the owners.
  • Monroe Township Police fielded calls Monday night about a "kangaroo" nearly struck by a car and later seen in the Walmart lot off Black Horse Pike, but officers could not catch him.
  • Police said the animal was last seen retreating into nearby woods as they continued to monitor the area.
  • The farm describes Rex as friendly but easily spooked, urges people not to chase him, and asks anyone who confines him to call 856-728-4188.
