Missing reindeer have been located after escaping from a Christmas grotto
The Elveden Estate in Suffolk explained that Blue and Blitzen "got spooked and jumped the fence" at the event over the weekend before wandering onto the A11 road.
Police were forced to close the road for several hours until the festive animals had moved away - but it took until Monday (04.12.23) to track down the antlered escapees.
Elveden's courtyard general manager Denise Sharpe said that the reindeer were finally found on the estate - one of the biggest farms in Britain - and is "happy" that they will be home for Christmas.
She told BBC News: "They went for quite a run. We located them last night, but couldn't get close enough to bring them in, and then it became too dark."
