A polecat which ended up inside a youth centre is seen scampering to freedom in this video after being captured and released by the RSPCA.
The wild animal somehow ended up inside a Powys County Council building, much to the surprise of workers.
Staff managed to get it confined in a room at Welshpool Youth Centre before the RSPCA officer attended to capture it, give it a clean bill of health and then set it free in nearby fields.
Phyl Davies, from Powys County Council, said: “This is probably one of the most unusual visitors to one of our buildings. It came as a shock to staff when they found it in the office.”
Polecats are wild cousins of the ferret. They tend to live along riverbanks, marshes and wooded areas – not in youth centres.
