Police beefed up their patrols overnight after a bull escaped from its field.

Officers in Sevenoaks were called out to a Watercroft Road in Halstead and found the creature wandering in the road.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "We were called at 2.17am on Friday regarding a stray bull on Watercroft Road, Halstead.

"Attending officers found the animal and returned it to its field."

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue Service joked: "They had only minor grazes and were udderly thrilled to be reunited with their mother, who looked on throughout the rescue.

"She was over the moooon to have them back."
