Police got a little more than they bargained for when they pulled over a car in Glasgow over the weekend.
They found £10,000 of Class A drugs, a portion of chips. And a lamb.
Police stopped the car on the M74, neat Glasgow, on Saturday around 6.10pm.
While the lamb was taken in by a local farmer the car's occupants, two men, aged 52 and 53, and a 38-year-old woman were arrested and charged with drug offences after heroin and cocaine were found in the vehicle.
Officers added that the driver also failed a roadside swab test for cocaine.
The force joked about the find in a series of tweets.
“Oh ewe! Officers from #GlasgowRP stopped this vehicle (not a Lamborghini!) on the #M74 J3 NB yesterday,” officers wrote.
They added: “In addition to this wee fella roughly £10k in Class A drugs were recovered with assistance from @PSOSDogs. Driver further arrested for failing the roadside swab for cocaine.”
The force also gave thanks to a police dog that was instrumental in uncovering the drugs.
“PD Billy entered the car and indicated drugs were present. Officers recovered heroin, with an estimated street value of £7,000 and cocaine, worth an estimated value of £3,000,” the force said in a statement.
