Toronto police were called to an east-end Toronto home early Thursday morning to evict a raccoon and two cubs who had moved in overnight.
Officers found the raccoon and two cubs eating in the second-floor pantry of the home on Columbine Avenue, near Woodbine Avenue and Kingston Road.
According to the homeowner, the family had taken up residence in the attic and the mother raccoon appeared to have chewed a hole into the drywall in the ceiling, eventually leading the baby raccoons into the home.
Police officers shooed the raccoon family out of the house with a broom Thursday morning, blocking their way with a cardboard box until the family had climbed down the stairs and into the street.
The raccoon family was last seen climbing into a nearby tree.
