A herd of cows helped police capture a man on the run by cornering him in a field in South West England.
Officers from the Devon and Cornwall force were tracking the fugitive as he tried to make his escape in the countryside. But he didn’t reckon on a persistent group of cows who pursued him across a field and into the welcoming arms of the law.
The dramatic action was filmed from a helicopter by the National Police Air Service (NPAS) South West Region on Tuesday afternoon (December 6) and the shadowy figure of the man can be seen followed by a herd of around a dozen cows. Whether they were angry he had encroached upon their field or whether they were just curious is not clear, but what is definitely clear is that there actions helped officers nab their prime suspect, reports Devon Live.
