The lorry had to be cut free after getting stuck on a branch

A DPD lorry had to be cut free from a tree after becoming ensnared in a branch in Heywood.

Police attended the scene on Thursday (12 January) after the lorry had become stuck and a tree surgeon was called out to rectify the situation.

Posting on Facebook, police said: “We don't just look for stolen cars, we also help those entangled with nature.

“Our PCSOs came across this lorry getting up close and personal with a tree so much so we had to ask the council for a tree surgeon to separate the two.”
