It started as a typical, sleepy morning in Upper Seagry, Wiltshire – the kind of village where the loudest noise is usually a passing tractor. That was until a rogue billy goat decided to stir things up.

Village Mayhem as Goat Goes on the Rampage

The stubborn goat charged through gardens, chased a local woman, and cheekily helped himself to the oranges off her Christmas wreath. Neighbours had had enough and called 999, reporting the furry troublemaker’s orange-stealing antics.

Wiltshire Police vs. The Unruly Goat

PC Ferris and PC Miller arrived to find the goat sprinting through the village with zero intention of playing nice. This wasn’t a simple animal rescue.

  • Riot shields were deployed
  • A lasso came out to try to wrangle the stubborn beast

After a tense tug-of-war – including the goat slipping free once – officers finally got the beast under control. The goat was safely returned to a very relieved owner.

Just Another Day on the Beat

As PC Ferris put it, “No two shifts are the same.” One minute you’re on a quiet patrol, the next you’re locking horns with an orange-loving, rampaging goat. Proper job from Wiltshire Police.
