\"Caught \"Caught <\/p>\n

CHASKA, Minn, (FOX 9 – The Chaska Police Department<\/a> and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources<\/a> came to the rescue of a baby deer Monday morning, and it was all caught on camera.<\/p>\n

Chaska baby deer rescue <\/p>\n

The backstory:<\/p>\n

The Chaska Police Department posted video to Facebook. The rescue happened at about 11:40 a.m. Monday as officers assisted the Minnesota DNR with the rescue of a trapped fawn that had wandered into the levee system and was having difficulty getting back up a slippery slope.<\/p>\n

Officers used netting to contain the baby deer before one could physically grab the fawn. The officer then took the baby deer and released it into a nearby wood area. That\u2019s where the mother was last seen.<\/p>\n

“Turns out the levee was no place for a Bambi. Thankfully, our crews knew the way out. From traffic stops to fawn rescues, it’s all in a day’s work around here,” Chaska police said.<\/p>\n
