RIDGE, N.Y. (NEWS 12 LONG ISLAND) \u2013 Although it is common to find bucks inside a bank, it\u2019s not usually the ones on four legs.<\/p>\n
In New York State, a buck of the animal kind made its way into Webster Bank in Ridge.<\/p>\n
Suffolk Police said the animal crashed through the glass at the branch on Middle Country Road on Sunday. The deer\u2019s actions also triggered the burglary alarm.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery crazy. I go to this bank at least two or three times a month,\u201d Ridge resident Daisy Evans said.<\/p>\n
Police bodycam video shows the deer frantically trying to escape on its own, leaving a mess in the process.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe broke the one window and trampled on some other stuff,\u201d Suffolk Police Commissioner Kevin Catalina said.<\/p>\n
Responding officers said they were able to safely lasso the deer and guide him to freedom, which Catalina said took a while. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo I think they did a phenomenal job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The bank was closed at the time the deer broke into it, and many people said they were stunned to hear about the break-in.<\/p>\n
The bank has been reopened after the mess was cleaned up.<\/p>\n
