Opossum in the Crib | Virginia Beach News

An opossum crashed a Norfolk homeowner’s early Friday morning sleep—showing up at 4 AM in their crib. Police animal protection swooped in, safely removed the chill critter, and no one got hurt. Wildlife intrusions like this are common, especially when animals seek shelter or snacks. Experts advise: don’t try to handle it yourself, keep kids and pets away, give the animal an escape route, and call professionals. Simple prevention—secure trash, no outdoor food, seal entry points—can keep your home human-only. Stay calm, stay safe, and let the pros do the work.
