Luckily, eagle-eyed officers spotted them and were able to rescue them.
They named three of them after the popular kids’ TV characters Alvin and the Chipmunks.
The rescue took place on Saturday (4 Oct) in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, as reported on What’s The Jam.
A Warwickshire Police spokesperson said: “It would seem, touch wood, the winds are quelling.
“So I can fold up my lumberjack shirt and stow my saw.
