People living in one Westminster neighborhood got an unexpected visitor on their front doorstep this week.

They found a giant snapping turtle looking for an area to lay her eggs, landing on one person’s driveway, until that person decided to call Westminster police.

Officers then got calls the turtle moved two doors down. They decided to notify Westminster Animal Management so someone could help her find a more suitable area.

A Westminster Animal Management officer was notified and relocated the snapping turtle back across the street to a park.
