The officers have appealed to the public to volunteer information that can lead to the arrest of the wayward goats.

According to police, the goats were pictured standing on top of the police vehicle near Newport on Wednesday afternoon August 19, as Police had been called to the area after an unexploded bomb from World War II was discovered. 

The police called the Royal Navy Explosives Team, travelled from Portsmouth to help destroy the unexploded bomb.
