Two charities have warned of the dangers of roaming animals after 10 horses and ponies were deliberately let out their field and found wandering a housing estate.

They were captured after they found their way on to a playing field, near the Welland Estate in Peterborough, to graze.

Fenland Animal Rescue and the RSPCA have issued warnings to would-be offenders, with one describing the incident as "extremely careless and irresponsible".
