By John Newland, Staff Writer, NBC News

Four men, 10 sheep and one very small car. It’s not the start of a joke. It’s what police in New Zealand found Wednesday when a routine patrol turned decidedly woolly.


An officer was driving along about 1 a.m. local time Wednesday in Havelock North when he noticed something odd about a 1994 Ford Laser hatchback as it labored along under the power of its 1.3-liter engine, Wellington police spokesman Guy Callahan said.

would have done a double take and said, ‘What the hell?’” Callahan said. “The officer basically pulled the vehicle over and discovered it was full up with men and sheep. … It’s quite a small vehicle.”

The 10 hog-tied sheep had allegedly just been stolen from a farm. Three of the men were charged with theft of stock and cruel treatment of an animal.

(Glad they caught them and I feel sorry for those poor sheep being tied and carted away in that truck in the real hot weather.)

Thanks Packy :43

".....that stolen sheep are generally slaughtered and eaten."

I guess that is the guys story and they will stick to it

Might pay to check the guys possessions in case each of them had tickets for the Local Hall Dance stating "Bring a partner"

The guys and sheep may well have been on a "Date"? :43
