Ewe’ll never believe what motorists on Leighton Buzzard’s busy by-pass were seeing on Saturday.

After several reports of a wandering sheep over the past few weeks, officers from Beds Police’s wildlife and rural unit rustled up a local farmer and his dogs and apprehended the miscreant – a lamb named Lucy!

The police tweeted: “Today, with the help of a local farmer and his excellent sheep dogs we managed to catch the lamb and return her safely back to her flock.”
