Saudi groom steals sheep to feed guests

Published

A Saudi groom thought of cutting his wedding costs by getting hundreds of his guests a free meal. So he simply went to a nearby farm and stole 12 sheep.

The groom had apparently thought it was a clever idea to save money, but had not expected the farmer to be cleverer.

‘The farmer went from restaurant to another to ask about his sheep until he found them. They were still alive and kept in the restaurant’s back garden pending slaughter,” Okaz Arabic language daily said.

“The farmer asked the restaurant manager to call the groom, who came to the restaurant and was shocked to see the sheep owner. The farmer wanted to call the police but the groom decided to settle the problem by buying the sheep,” the paper added with saying where in Saudi Arabia the incident happened.
