MS heads out on Saturday night patrol with South Wales Police – and helps ‘resident’ find their way home!

Ogmore MS Huw Irranca-Davies, headed out with local Police officers, Sergeant Watts and PCSO Morgan, during one of their patrols around the Llynfi Valley last Saturday to experience a night shift patrol for himself – however, he perhaps got more than he bargained for as the patrol were faced with an escaped calf on Bryn Road!

Officers on patrol often deal with the unexpected on a night shift, but even they were surprised to see the Calf in the middle of the road.

Both parties were keen to share the experience on social media:

Look at that sunset over Bryn. Cowing lush! 😅

Thanks to the great team of @swpolice officers and PCSOs in our valleys for letting me spend time with them on a shift last night.

Learned a lot. And shared my cattle-wrangling skills too! 🐄 https://t.co/6TNPeGmvd2

“Out last night on patrol with our PCSOs and officers around the valleys.”

“It wasn’t quite the Streets of San Francisco (for those of a certain vintage) but I reckon they let this calf out onto Bryn Road deliberately, just to get the picture!”
