“Officers arrived and quickly located the herd! Upon seeing us the cows decided to make a moove and began heading back towards Emsworth. We were ready and not prepared to let them milk this so the chase was on.

“They tried to get officers off their tracks by garden hopping but that did not stop us. Around 10 cows detained and they decided the grass was greener the other side.”
