In an unexpected turn of events, the Toms River Police Department responded to a peculiar call at Cedar Grove Elementary. A concerned resident reported witnessing a deer breaking through a glass window and making its way into the school premises. The ensuing encounter turned out to be quite the spectacle.

Upon arrival, officers swiftly located the adventurous deer. However, the situation took an amusing twist when, in a bid to evade capture, the deer dashed down the hallway and sought refuge in a classroom. Undeterred, officers strategically opened a rear door, guiding their newfound furry friend to freedom.

In a humorous twist, the Toms River Police Department assured the public with a playful disclaimer: "No reindeer were injured during filming." The escapade concluded with the deer making a northward exit, leaving behind a memorable and lighthearted incident for both law enforcement and the school community.
