Officers from Garforth then showed up to conduct their best shepherd impression.

A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said: "Imagine waking up to these in your garden, someone in Whinmoor did. A call came into the Police to say someone was looking sheepish in their garden.

"We don’t just catch the bad guys and help vulnerable people/victims, we also help animals get back to where they should be.

"You don't get this in a normal job

"Have a good and safe weekend. Many thanks from you local police team at Garforth"
