A driver caught with a sheep in the boot of his car told police he was taking the animal to McDonald’s for a takeaway.
Police stopped the driver in North Yorkshire, suspecting the car had two bald tyres, however, upon closer inspection officers realised there was a fully grown sheep in the boot of the vehicle.
Officers from the force have now taken to Twitter to reveal the unusual passenger.
