Police officers in Pinole had their hands full after dozens of goats escaped their enclosure on Monday.

Officers responded to the 1800 block of Shea Drive to assist with recapturing the goats and posted a video to the Pinole Police Department's Facebook page showing the animals roaming the neighborhood.

The animals are normally used for weed control and to eat dried vegetation to reduce wildfire risk.

They grazed on nearby lawns and trees before they were all eventually captured.

Officers did not specify how the goats escaped or how long it took to corral all of them.
