Escaped prisoners go on the run…dressed as sheep

Escaped prisoners go on the run…dressed as sheep

Two escaped prisoners in Argentina managed to fool a 300-strong police force by disguising themselves as sheep.

Pereyra, 25, and Diaz, 28, escaped from a maximum security prison and went on the run dressed as sheep – alongside a real-life flock.

A local farm worker who saw the men, said: “They were wearing grey clothes but had full sheepskins over their heads and backs.”

The men avoided capture for more than a week because the police said it was “almost impossible” to spot the convicts amongst the other sheep they were traveling with.

Although, one officer is thought to have said that the two convicted robbers, “can’t pull the wool over our eyes forever.”

    yea that is pretty clever but if the police finds them they will stay in prison longer so they are fools.
