PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Some horses with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Mounted Patrol made a break from their enclosure this morning.

Pittsburgh Police say 5 horses escaped from the stables on Grand Avenue around 8:30 a.m. Saturday after a horse broke the gate.

Even though police say they were "on the lam," the horses did not go far, and officers were able to return them to the stables.

"All horses are safe and accounted for," Pittsburgh Police said. "The case - and the gate - is considered closed."
