DETROIT – Some rare farm animals were stolen from a Detroit nonprofit Thursday morning.
It happened at Pingree Farms on the city’s east side about 3 a.m.
The farm’s founder, Jimmy Mack, was on the premises and noticed animals running free inside the compound.
When he did a head count, he said a specially-trained sheep, bull, and rare goat were missing.
The 15-acre farm teaches children about agriculture.
Since 2010 the farm has taken some animals on the road to teach about agriculture and husbandry. The three stolen animals were very specific to that mission, Mack said.
The theft was captured on surveillance video.
“You can see Little Bully, a miniature angus bull being led off and then Angel the sheep, and a Nubian goat,” Mack said.
He said at least three men and three vehicles were seen on video.
Two of the vehicles were a dark-colored GMC Envoy and a black Ford Expedition with a trailer. A third vehicle was spotted off in the distance, Mack said.
