The department tweeted out pictures of an officer removing a opossum from a home.
Sgt. Mike Colburn, who posted the tweet, wrote in the caption: "We do it all here @covinapd. Even remove killer possums from your home. #mutantpossums #realheros"
Covina police dispatcher Kelly Churnside retweeted Colburn's post, saying the "suspect" was peacefully apprehended and released back in the wild, adding "Great work by Officer Sun! #servicewithasmile"
