HINGHAM (CBS) – A Hingham police sergeant got a visit from a few curious members of the community while on patrol Saturday.

Sgt. Steven Dearth saw several goats while patrolling Black Rock Drive.

It was great today to see there's still an interest in police work. Like to think we only hire the...wait for it...#GOAT here. ???? ???? pic.twitter.com/yASVzb8QRz

When Dearth got out to take a picture of the stray animals, they strolled over to his cruiser and began sniffing around.

Residents told Dearth the goats live in a pen at a golf course nearby and are used to eat weeds and poison ivy. They apparently got loose from their pen.

Employees eventually brought the goats back to the golf course.
