The animal was spotted by officers on the loose running amok on a road in Hunstanton, Norfolk, on Monday night.
Once rounded up they had to find a way to transport the piglet, so chose to put it in a handy traffic cone, which proved to be a perfect fit.
Norfolk Police said the piglet was safely reunited with its owner.
