A HERD of runaway cows were rounded up by military police after they went AWOL near an RAF base.
Around 20 of the animals were spotted blocking roads and stomping over a play park outside RAF Shawbury, Shropshire, on Tuesday (January 7) morning.
Pictures were tweeted of military police rounding the cows up as they returned to a farm nearby.
A spokesperson tweeted: "Residents near RAF Shawbury woke up to an unusual alarm this morning - a herd of cows!
"Having been alerted, the RAF Police and MPGS rounded-up the suspects with @WMerciaPolice stopping traffic to assist the farmer in safely getting them back to the farm.
"Happy Moo Year!"
