Thieves Steal 160 Sheep near UK Town of Wool
2013-11-07
[An Nahar] Wool's wool is missing.

Police in southwest England appealed for help Tuesday in tracking down thieves who made off with 160 sheep from a field near the village of Wool.

Police say the sheep were stolen between Saturday and Monday, and that the thieves would have needed a large vehicle to move the woolly haul.

Constable Adam Taylor says all of the sheep were electronically tagged.

He is urging anyone who has witnessed suspicious activity -- or been offered sheep "in unusual circumstances or for very low prices" -- to come forward.

#3  Might check the local Muslim whorehouse, if there's a shortage of goats in the area.

#2  I suggest a local, unrelated criminal punishment fits this crime as well:

In the village of Wool.... A small single lane hump backed stone bridge about 200m north from the railway is no longer used for vehicular traffic. It has a stone halfway along it stating that those who deface or damage the bridge will be transported (sent to Australia or another penal colony) for the rest of their lives.
