Last updated 24th Mar 2025
A donkey who escaped from a field in Walsall has been coaxed home with a handful of mints.
'Ned' the donkey was causing problems for motorists near the Beechdale Estate in Bloxwich after he escaped from a field at the end of February.
Police managed to bring the animal under control after bribing him with mints.
We're told the fence around Ned's field has since been mended to make sure he wont escape again!
Sergeant Chris Beards, response supervisor at Bloxwich, said: “He’s a cheeky one and had escaped from his field before. He was causing a nuisance on the roads for motorists so my officers had to find him and take him back to his field. He loves mints and once he had chomped down on one he was braying for more and was happy to come back with us.
“We took him back to his field and although we couldn’t locate his owner, we made sure the fence was secure so he couldn’t get out again.”
