Police interrupted a moose getaway in progress along the Glenn Highway Thursday afternoon when they pulled a pickup over after motorists reported two calves stashed in its bed.

The calves had apparently been orphaned, and the woman driving them out of town told police she was taking them to a Mat-Su reindeer farm to live out their lives.

"Basically she claimed the mother moose is dead and she was worried that troopers would come out and shoot the babies," Anchorage police officer Joel Miner said.
