The ponies Chico and Chiquinho, belonging to "Os Patudos", escaped and remained on the run for six hours in Condeixa-a-Nova. The animals managed to escape and roamed the area during that period.

Rescuing the animals was not an easy task, presenting difficulties for the authorities and entities involved in the capture operation.

The ponies ended up entering the interior of a farm located near the animal rescue and protection association, which facilitated their capture after the six hours on the run.
