Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Police in Massachusetts announced a black angus bull and a heifer calf have been captured and returned home after five days on the loose.

The Marshfield Police Department announced Monday night that the cattle, dubbed Bessie and Clyde, were captured after five days on the run.

A follow-up post Tuesday said personnel from the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department arrived in Marshfield on Monday and used a thermal imaging drone to locate the bovine duo in the woods off Plain Street.

Police established a perimeter around nearby roads, and Jeff Perette from of R.G. Wilson Farm/Littles Farm was brought in with a tranquilizer rifle.

Perette entered the woods alone and was able to dart Bessie and Clyde.

"A short time later, the tranquilizer began to take effect, and both animals slowed to a stop. Law enforcement officers and a number of volunteers then worked together to safely rope and secure them," the post said.

Once the tranquilizer wore off, the bull and calf were led into a trailer for safe transport back to their owner's property.
