Police helped to round up a herd of horses which got loose on a busy road.

Officers were alerted by passers-by after more than 20 horses were seen roaming on the road and in a field at Gain Lane, Fagley , near to the Morrisons headquarters, just before 8am on Saturday.

Police traced the owner who quickly attended and guided the horses back into their field, with the aid of officers. No horses were hurt and no damage was caused to any people or property.

It is thought the horses escaped after a prankster opened the gate to their field.
