The North Herts Police said in a Facebook post that Team 3 Intervention/Response personnel were dispatched in the early morning on a report of "sheep running amok on North Road in Baldock."

"We bleated at them to stay out of the road but they thought we were a bit woolly and decided to go on the lamb instead," police wrote.

The officers were able to round up the woolly fugitives and returned them to their owner's property.
