Escaped Cow on the Loose in Totton Safely Captured by Hampshire Police

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Roads Policing officers faced an unusual situation today when they were called to capture an escaped cow running through the streets of Totton. The adventurous bovine had somehow found her way onto the road, causing a stir as officers quickly mobilized to ensure both the cow and local residents remained safe.

E Shift officers demonstrated quick thinking—and perhaps a bit of cowboy flair—as they safely contained the cow and managed to return her to her field. Hampshire Police took to social media to share the news, humorously noting that road policing isn’t always about dealing with vehicles.

The cow’s safe return to her pasture has brought a smile to the community, with social media users expressing their gratitude and amusement at the officers’ animal-handling skills.
