After seeing the officers descend upon them, the donkeys tried to flee toward Memorial Field.

The department put up video on its Facebook of the harrowing chase.

"After a long (slow) chase the gang of burros were ultimately corralled and temporarily detained," the police department said on Facebook. "While in custody, the donkeys refused to provide their names and addresses, but a thorough investigation revealed where they reside."
