Cops in Scotland were left scratching their heads after they found a little lamb inside a car carrying 10,000 pounds (Rs 10,17,400) worth of drugs, Metro reported. The incident occurred on Sunday when Police Scotland stopped a car on a motorway near Glasgow and made the bizarre discovery.
A police dog Billy sniffed out the drugs, and the police found heroin with an estimated value of 7,000 pounds and cocaine worth around 3,000 pounds. Two men, and a woman, were arrested and charged with drug offences.
Later, Police Scotland joked about the situation on social media, saying that the car was ''not a Lamborghini.'' They also shared pictures of the lamb sitting on the back seat along with a bag of chips, and also a positive drug test.
They tweeted, ''Oh, ewe! Officers from #GlasgowRP stopped this vehicle (not a Lamborghini!) on the #M74 J3 NB yesterday. In addition to this wee fella, roughly £10k in Class A drugs were recovered with assistance from @PSOSDogs. The driver was further arrested for failing the roadside swap for cocaine.''

The three occupants of the vehicle were arrested and a search of the car was carried out with assistance from the dog unit. PD Billy entered the car and indicated drugs were present.
