Horse Detained By Police Over Stolen Vehicle In South Africa!

"We have apprehended a horse and two suspects for being in possession of a suspected stolen vehicle'' – this unbelievable statement was made by Soweto’s police spokeswoman, Captain Lindiwe Mbatha! According to Mbatha, S. African cops patrolling in Soweto (actually, an acronym for the 26 individual South-Western Townships), pulled over two people in a horse-cart hauling a stripped body of a brand new Toyota Corolla due to suspicions of theft.

Since the police officers were not allowed by law to leave the horse and the Toyota Corolla on the street, the poor animal had to be detained along with the suspects! "The animal had to be taken in with its carriage and the suspects. We couldn't leave the horse on the road because it was carrying a suspected stolen car,'' Mbatha said. Luckily, the 4-legged “suspect” was freed of all charges… and released into the care of animal rights association in Johannesburg.
