A '˜baa-army' adventure: Police prevent close shave on M1 as sheep tries to join motorway
It was by shear chance that PC Pete Harley and PCSO Simon Galley stumbled upon a member of the public who was desperately trying to stop a sheep from joining the motorway at Junction 29a on Thursday, July 13.
They managed to catch the sheep and get it safely into the back of their police car before returning it to its field, but not before taking a picture to capture the baaa-rmy adventure.
