Police in central Florida have received a little help from a herd of cows in apprehending a suspect following a car chase.

A stolen SUV crashed near a paddock in Sanford, Florida with one of the three occupants fleeing into the paddock on foot.

Police helicopter footage shows the women running through the paddock, joined by the herd of 16 cows.

At one point, an officer is heard on video directing his colleagues: "If you see the large group of cows, they're literally following her."

The cows chased the suspect around the paddock, before cornering her near a fence where police officers were waiting to arrest her.
