THE trained hawk used to scare pigeons away from the pristine grasscourts of Wimbledon was returned to its owners on Sunday after being stolen during the first week of the tournament.
Rufus, a Harris Hawk, was off-duty in his cage when he was snatched by thieves late on Thursday but is now home after being handed into offices of The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, police said on Sunday.
Rufus' Twitter account, written by his owners, said: "We can confirm the news is true RUFUS HAS BEEN FOUND safe and well and reunited with family!! Thank you so much for your support 锟indRufus".
Fans often stop to have their picture taken with the four-and-a-half year old.
