A lamb has been found in the back of a car alongside “roughly £10,000 worth of Class A drugs” on Saturday evening (April 22). A police dog, named “Billy”, sniffed out the drugs, and the lamb who was seen pictured next to a bag of chips.

The woolly passenger was rescued by Police Scotland around 6:10pm and taken in by a farmer, after the car was pulled over on the M74 in Glasgow. Officers recovered an estimated £7,000 of heroin and £3,000 of cocaine.

Road police colleagues shared the incident on social media, joking that the car was ‘not a Lamborghini’. A Twitter post said: “Officers from #GlasgowRP stopped this vehicle (not a Lamborghini!) on the #M74 J3 NB yesterday.

The fact that either of those were left to find shows incredible restraint on the part of the lamb
