Three men are being questioned on suspicion of theft after police spotted three sheep being transported through a suburban area in the back of a people carrier.
West Midlands police said officers on patrol spotted the Ford Galaxy’s unusual cargo in Hob Moor Road in Yardley, Birmingham, in the early hours of Tuesday.
After a pursuit, the Galaxy hit a parked car and three men abandoned the vehicle, leaving the lambs in the boot, a police spokesman said.
Officers tracked down three suspects after a search of nearby gardens. One was found up a tree and another was in a conservatory.
Police said three male Romanian nationals aged 22, 27 and 28 were in custody on suspicion of theft. The three lambs have been rehomed at a farm in Sheldon as officers attempt to trace their owners.
