Funny: Goats Detained For Damaging Police Patrol Car In India

Police in southern city of Chennai found scapegoats after their new
patrol car is damaged.


Aljazeera.com has reported that Three goats were caught and detained
by police in the southern Indian city of Chennai after they allegedly
vandalised a new police patrol vehicle, the Times of India has
reported.


The trio were held as "scapegoats" for the crime which reportedly
involved a dozen of their tribe trampling over the car – the latest
example of anti-social behaviour in the Kilpauk district of the city.


Police said the goats had a record of damaging vehicles of residents,
but had "crossed the line" with an attackon a new patrol vehicle, a
maroon Innova. "We got the vehicle two daysago," said an officer on
duty.


According to the complaint, about 12goats dented the vehicle when they
and climbed on top of it, "damaging the wipers and glass, and
scratching the paint of the bonnet and body".


Police however found only three goats in their subsequent inquiries.
"We took the animals to the station and made inquiries about the
owner," the officer told the newspaper.


Their owner, Mary Arogynathan, 37, faces charges of negligent conduct
of her animals, which were later handed over to the Society for the
Protection of Animals.
