A man has been arrested on suspicion of the theft after a herd of 14 cows stolen from a farm last year were found almost 130 miles (209km) away.

The cattle were reported stolen from a farm near Llanerch-y-Medd on Anglesey in December.

They were found on Wednesday, more than four months after the theft, in Stoke-on-Trent after North Wales Police's rural crime team searched two farms.

The herd was valued at about £20,000, the force said.

"Officers have now identified and seized all the suspected stolen cattle," said the force in a video posted on Twitter.

The force said it also found a John Deere tractor stolen from a farm in Staffordshire last year.
