Posting on Facebook, Thames Valley Police for Bracknell and Wokingham said it was “an interesting shift" for Team 2 as they helped a swan among numerous arrest, robbery, assaults and domestic violence.

They added: “The Swan had gotten separated from its young and was stuck wondering the streets of Woodley in and out of traffic. 

"With a bit of help from some members of the public, we were able to get them all safely reunited back on the River Loddon ”
