27-year-old tortoise killed during Phoenix robbery

In the early morning hours, two would-be thieves attempted to steal a real tortoise from a Phoenix yard. But when the homeowner startled them, they dropped the tortoise and ran her over with their truck as they made their escape. The whole incident was caught on Jerry Fife’s Ring camera and on his cell phone as he chased the thieves out of his yard. The incident took place around 2:30 a.m. Monday morning after an alarm in Fife’s yard alerted him that something was wrong.
