In an unusual turn of events, Newtown Township Police in Bucks County discovered an emu roaming the streets, leaving authorities searching for its owner. The large bird was spotted at the intersection of Stoopville Road and Rosenfield Drive on Thursday evening.

The Newtown Township Police managed to capture an image of the emu, which has been circulating on social media, in hopes of finding its rightful owner. However, at the time of writing, the emu still remains on the loose.

Local residents are being urged to assist in the search by contacting the county's non-emergency line with any information that can help reunite the wayward emu with its owner. It is unclear how the emu initially came to be wandering the streets of Newtown Township.

In an effort to address the unique situation, authorities have shared the image of the emu in the hopes that it will reach someone who can provide valuable information about the bird's origins. Emus are large flightless birds native to Australia and are not typically found in suburban communities such as Newtown Township.

The police are especially concerned about the welfare of the emu and are working diligently to ensure its safe return to its rightful owner. Emus, known for their long legs and distinctive appearance, require specialized care and habitats.

As the search for the emu's owner continues, residents are advised to remain cautious if they encounter the bird. Authorities have warned against approaching or capturing the emu, as it may become defensive if it feels threatened.

Newtown Township Police are hopeful that the community will come forward with any information that can aid in locating the owner of the emu. With the support and cooperation of local residents, it is hoped that the emu will soon be reunited with its proper caretaker.

Meanwhile, residents are being encouraged to contact the county's non-emergency line with any information about the emu or its owner. The police are hoping for a swift resolution so that the emu can be safely returned and the mystery of its presence in Newtown Township can be solved.
