A Lamborghini? Stunned police stop suspected drug driver and find little lamb in backseat alongside £10,000 worth of heroin and cocaine

Police have shared a photo of the bizarre moment when they pulled over a car and found £10,000 worth of Class A drugs – and a lamb in the back seat of the vehicle.
Scotland Police shared the photo of the woolly lamb after apprehending a suspected drug driver on the M74 motorway in Glasgow.
Officers seized £10,000 worth of cocaine and heroin after police sniffer dogs discovered £7,000 worth of cocaine and a further £3,000 worth of heroin.
All three occupants of the car – including two men aged 52 and 53 and a woman aged 38 – were arrested and charged with drug offences.

Police said the lamb was later taken by a local farmer and the investigation continued “to establish how the lamb got into the car.”
After the vehicle was pulled over on the northbound carriageway of the M74 near Glasgow on April 22, police brushed the driver for drugs.
The highway police officers later joked on Twitter that the car was not a ‘Lamborghini’.
Scotland Police later tweeted a photo of the lamb alongside a photo of the positive cocaine smear.
‘Oh ewe! #GlasgowRP officers stopped this vehicle (not a Lamborghini!) on the #M74 J3 NB yesterday,” the tweet says.
‘Around £10,000 worth of class A drugs were recovered alongside this little fellow with the help of @PSOSDogs.’
“Driver further arrested for botched roadside cocaine exchange,” says the Road Policing Scotland tweet.
