The Egyptian and Northern Spider tortoises taken from the Indianapolis Zoo have been found safe.
People visiting Falls Park in Madison County called police about 4 p.m. Tuesday, after they’d reportedly found a cardboard box with a note referencing the Indianapolis Zoo.
Inside were two tortoises.
Pendleton police took custody of the tortoises, later identified as the two missing from Indianapolis Zoo by their microchips, according to an Indiana State Police news release.
