Goat chases builders from third floor flat

Police suspected German builders were acting the goat when they complained an angry billy goat had chased them out of a third floor flat.

But when they turned up to investigate they found a fully grown male goat had indeed moved into the apartment in Offenburg, Baden-Württemberg. The goat had been making a meal of the curtains that had been left behind while renovation work was carried out.



A police spokesman said: "We have no idea how that goat got up onto the third floor and entered the apartment. We also don't know who owns it - we have had no reports of a missing goat."

Police called in a local farmer who helped to capture the goat and has taken it to his farm while they attempt to find the real owner.
