Police officers in Scotland have expressed shock after finding a lamb inside the back of a car alongside Class A drugs with a total street value of £10,000 after they pulled over a suspected drug driver on the M74 road in Glasgow on Saturday, April 22.
Police Scotland tweeted on social media: ‘Oh ewe!‘Officers from #GlasgowRP stopped this vehicle (not a Lamborghini!) on the #M74 J3 NB yesterday.
‘In addition to this wee fella, roughly £10k in Class A drugs were recovered with assistance from @PSOSDogs.’
The driver was also further arrested for failing a roadside swab for cocaine.
Police say the lamb has been adopted by a local farmer and enquiries are continuing to establish how it ended up in the car in the first place.
