Two convicts dress up as sheep to evade capture

LONDON - Two convicts who escaped from a high security prison in Argentina have managed to evade arrest by disguising themselves up as sheep by wearing full sheepskins including the sheep’s head.

Maximiliano Pereyra and Ariel Diaz stole the sheep hides from a ranch after fleeing from an Argentinian maximum security prison a week ago, The Sun has reported.

The duo managed to evade 300 policemen on their trail by disguising themselves as sheep. Locals have seen them running through farmland at night.

“They were wearing grey clothes but had full sheepskins, including the sheep’s heads, over their heads and back,” a farmworker was quoted as saying.

Spotting the two men among thousands of sheep is “almost impossible”, the police said.
