A pot-bellied pig sank his teeth into the leg of a burglar who was trying to rob his owner.

Arnold, who weighs 21 stone, also stopped a burglar from getting into a neighbour's house by biting him.

The animal has become a celebrity among police officers in his home town of Minneapolis. Arnold first showed his crime fighting abilities when his owner Becky Moyer spotted burglars in her garage.

She told the Star Tribune: "There were two guys in there. One of them put something in my back that felt like a gun, and they said they wanted my purse.

I said my purse was in the house. When we went in, I screamed for Arnold, and he got up and grabbed the guy by the leg.

He yelled, 'There's a pig in here!' and ran. There was blood all over." She added: "The police gave him that 'crime-fighter' name. When they're in the neighbourhood, they like to stop by and pet him."

Arnold was a present from her boyfriend. "Some people get lingerie," she said. "I got a pig."
