Police have urged drivers to stay alert after a number of runaway sheep were spotted on a road in Bromsgrove. 

Bromsgrove Police managed to safely move the sheep off the road and back into their field but they have issued an important reminder for residents to be cautious on fast roads. 

This is due to "unexpected obstacles" that could be encountered by drivers with officers thanking those that slowed down for the sheep.
