Rudolph has escaped and caused a proper nightmare for Santa on the A11

Reports are coming in that Rudolph and several other reindeer closed a major road over the weekend.

They are believed to have escaped an enclosure just a few weeks before they’re due on duty to help Father Christmas pull his sleigh.

They were spotted on the A11 dual carriageway near Barton Mills, West Suffolk at 3.20pm yesterday.

Rudolph’s antics with the other deer led to the road being closed between the village and Thetford for around two hours while police rounded them up.

It is not known where the reindeer escaped from.
