A runaway sheep which caused 'chaos' on the streets of Lancaster was eventually 'apprehended' by the police.
The loose sheep triggered a police chase around the city until it was apprehended at around 8am on Tuesday May 21.
Lancashire Rural Police posted a picture of the captured sheep on their Facebook page and said: “Despite the vehicle in the background on the picture this is not an undercover police dog.
Turn left at the junction for #Lancaster Station... Oops, look out for the sheep! ??
