Runaway Cows Bessie and Clyde Found Safe in Marshfield After 5 Days on the Loose
Police said the animals repeatedly entered traffic before officers and residents tracked them down and returned them home.
- Marshfield Police captured the runaway Black Angus cow and bull late Monday night, ending a five-day search that began when the animals escaped their Main Street enclosure last Thursday.
- Authorities urged caution on Route 3A, where the black animals were difficult to spot in darkness; the 45 mph speed limit on Main Street posed significant collision risks for motorists.
- The Plymouth County Sheriff's Department deployed a thermal-imaging drone to locate the pair off Plain Street; Assistant Deputy Superintendent Nichole Bradley said, "They settled after being tranquilized and we were able to rope them up."
- Police Chief Phil Tavares noted the cattle were exceptionally fast, jumping guardrails during the operation, and explained, "Rushing the animal creates a higher risk. It has to be done slowly and methodically."
- Bessie and Clyde have been returned to their Main Street property, while local businesses like Atlantic Scuba and the Sundae Society engaged with the unusual situation as residents tracked the search.
