Meath sheep farmer and his tractor accidentally stop high-speed chase on Valentine's Day

A high speed chase through the Meath countryside was ended by a farmer when he parked his tractor and trailer on a quiet country road and began rounding up his ewes from a nearby field.

Larry Fay's parking, which partly blocked the road, allowed gardaí to catch a suspected criminal, who couldn't get his van around the vehicle and double-deck trailer in the Drumconrath area.
