PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― A burglar alarm alerted authorities to an unusual break-in at a local financial institution this morning; when they arrived, they found the four-legged intruder still inside the building.

According to police, a deer crashed through a window at Mellon Financial on Freeport Road in the Waterworks Mall.

"We got a call that there was a burglar alarm here at Mellon bank," explains Pittsburgh Police Officer Cheryl Watson. "On my way here, I got another call that there was a deer stuck in the window. By the time I arrived, the window was broken, all shattered up, and the deer was inside."

The deer became frightened once inside and retreated to the back of the building.

Officials tried to lure the deer out of the bank with food to no avail.

When Animal Rescue arrived around 8:30am, the deer apparently decided to make a break for it.

Branch Manager Michael Babjak describes the animal's exodus. "He apparently leaped over this desk, knocked over the pens and things and hit the coffee pot and out the window he went again – same way he came in."

Once outside the bank, the deer ran through the parking lot and over a guardrail into the woods.

Fortunately, the animal did not appear to be injured.

"It didn't look injured at all," Officer Watson adds, "which was a good thing."

"I can't believe that something could crash through a window that thick and not be hurt," Babjak adds, "he ran back out of here when it was all over."

Though the deer may be gone, crews are left to deal with the aftermath of this morning's melee. A security company has been working repairing the broken window.
