Flock of sheep invade shop
Ram raiders cause havoc in local store

A ski resort in St Anton, Austria, has been raided by a flock of 80 sheep after one went inside to investigate and the rest followed.

The tens of sheep stormed into the shop tailing one another, while onlookers and the shop owners watched them in astonishment.

Lawyers are now negotiating a price for damages with the owner of the flock, which is running into thousands of pounds.

The shop's spokesperson said: "We think one of them saw its reflection in a mirror and came in to investigate.  

"And sheep being sheep, of course the rest of them decided to follow."

The case is similar to that last year when a cow named Laura raided a branch of the same store elsewhere. Her owner had to pay for everything she trampled and tried to eat.
