CBS 2's Sabrina Franza reported on how neighbors were told to keep an eye out for the bull. One neighbor said he came home from a weekend away and noticed a fountain was knocked over, and there was "literally manure everywhere."

His backyard cameras captured photos of the animal.

Barrington Hills police said the bull was successfully brought under control and will be relocated. Wesley Bush, of 2B Wild Cattle Catching Services, LLC, said the bull was taken to a sale barn.
