The WA Police Force was put to the test when they pursued a “baa-ndit” of a different kind who was trying to “fleece” unsuspecting locals and resist arrest.
The offender on the lam was in fact a fast and elusive sheep on the loose in the Geraldton CBD last week.
The woolly creature put up a fluffy fight, bowling officers over and outrunning others during a foot chase.
The pursuit lasted for more than 10 minutes before officers finally cornered the animal and eventually loaded it into the back of a police vehicle.
“Geraldton Police refused to have the wool pulled over their eyes when they encountered an uncooperative customer in the CBD, who was no doubt looking to fleece unsuspecting locals,” Geraldton Police posted to social media on Friday.
“After being led through a number of ‘ewe-turns’, the officers coordinated a ‘lambush’ to bring the incident to an end.

“A witness to the unfolding situation described the officer’s response as ‘shear’ brilliance and you can see a ‘ewetube’ video of the arrest.”
As of yet, it is unclear if the sheepish suspect was wanted for a ram raid or a baa-r brawl which may or may not have happened on Marine-o Terrace.
