Two thieves have been arrested with a sheep they stole and disguised as a baby while trying to escape from a community in Kenya, Igbere TV reports.
They were apprehended by local vigilantes while on a motorbike with the animal which they dressed up to like like it was a child.
Local media reports that the suspects were stopped and questioned about what they were carrying and they claimed that it was a sick baby they were carrying to a nearby hospital.
When the two men were asked to show the baby’s face, they seemed hestitant and jittery and their behaviour made the vigilantes to suspect them.
The suspicion was confirmed when the clothes was eventually removed and it was a sheep they saw not a child.
A member of the community had reported that his sheep was being stolen, and being that the two men were strangers in the community, it made them key suspects
Police was called and the thieves were handed over to the officers who arrived.
