Three men have been arrested in Algeria after allegedly attempting to enter Spain in a failed disguise attempt that has since sparked reactions online.
A Desperate Attempt to Cross Into Spain
According to reports, the men were trying to cross the border illegally by hiding inside a truck transporting livestock.
In a bid to avoid detection, they allegedly dressed up in sheep costumes and blended in with the real animals on board. The plan, however, did not go as expected.
Police Discover “Two-Legged Sheep”
During a routine inspection, border officials reportedly noticed that some of the “sheep” were behaving strangely.
Authorities observed that a few of the animals appeared to be walking upright on two legs and had visible human features.
Suspicious of the odd movement, officers carried out a closer check and discovered that three of the sheep were actually men in disguise.
They were immediately pulled out of the truck and arrested.
Facing Immigration Fraud Charges
The suspects are now reportedly in custody and facing charges linked to immigration fraud.
Reports also claim they could face additional allegations of animal cruelty after allegedly stepping on and disturbing the livestock while attempting to blend in.
Online Reactions Trail Failed Plan
The unusual attempt has drawn widespread reactions on social media.
