MOOVING IN: night time grass raiders in Cowie Street, Shaw.
A couple were udderly shocked to find raiders of the long grass munching their garden in the middle of the night.
But the loose herd of cows obviously felt right at home... in Shaw’s Cowie Street!
Ricky McCleary thought his wife Amanda was bonkers — until he too heard the mooing sound at 1.30am on Wednesday.
“I thought she was having a laugh – but there were six cows munching their way through the front gardens along Cowie Street, of all places. I’ve no idea where they came from; there are a few farms round here.”
The couple last saw the ninja ruminants moo-ving off towards Duchess Street, close to farmland..
