There was a breach at Changi Airport in Singapore by a group of unusual suspects: a family of otters.

Changi Airport activated its Airside Safety team after its surveillance system detected the animals on its premises.

The otters were eventually guided out towards Changi Beach, a Changi Airport Group (CAG) spokesman said.

Video footage showed close to a dozen of the mammals scurrying around the tarmac, close to a Singapore Airlines plane. At one point in the video, the otters were directly below an aircraft engine.
