A crustacean is on the loose in Middleton Tuesday, officials said.

The Middleton Police Department said a 12-year-old resident on Valley Ridge Road set her hermit crab in its cage outside. The top of the cage wasn’t locked and the crab got away.

The crab’s name is Baller, and it’s under a shell that is made to look like a soccer ball, police said.

Anyone who sees Baller is asked to call or text police at 608-824-7300.
