The dogs were rounded up after officers and specialist dog handlers were called to a wooded area between Kingswinford and Wordsley.

Around 85 pupils, aged seven to nine, from Fairhaven Primary School, in Wordsley, had been out for a walk yesterday.

They had reached Ridgehill Wood, off Lawnswood, when a staff member spotted the out of control dogs.

Police were called out to search the woodland and surrounding areas.

A police dog handler restrained one of the dogs in nearby Quayle Grove, Wordsley at 10.30am. The second was found around 5pm in Dudley Road, Himley.

Fairhaven headteacher Dave Rowe arranged for a coach to ferry the children back to school.
