The incident sparked a response from police and animal control. <\/p>\n
Webber said she thought it was a joke when she first got a call from security about what happened. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we think happened is that the sheep saw itself in the mirrored glass and decided to have a go.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt lifted furniture and smashed some tables up and ripped up papers and things like that. I think it was inside for about 10-15 minutes. <\/p>\n
\u201cLuckily nobody was inside at the time because it caused quite a lot of damage in the building and it could have been pretty nasty.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webber said police and council had been searching for the sheep for three days, and is believed to have come from the Aidanfield area. <\/p>\n
She estimated the damage to be cost somewhere \u201cin the thousands\u201d, but expects the business to be back up and running on Tuesday with clean-up underway.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuckily we\u2019ve got insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Video later emerged on social media. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the dickens?\u201d said Christchurch radio personality Chris \u201cBondy\u201d Bond, posting his view of the ram raid on Instagram. <\/p>\n
\u201cAll systems go… There\u2019s a big hole in that window. This ain\u2019t so good \u2013 something\u2019s happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
A few seconds later, Bond realised what might have happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the heck? Animal management\u2019s turned up. Has an animal gone through the glass and it\u2019s inside the business?\u201d<\/p>\n
He said police \u201csmashed the window further\u201d to get inside the building. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy gosh \u2013 the tension, the drama, it\u2019s all go,\u201d Bond said in the video.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my gosh, it\u2019s a dog, the poor thing. No \u2013 it\u2019s a sheep. What the hell?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the heck? What\u2019s a sheep doing on Lincoln Rd… not what you\u2019d expect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police confirmed they were called just before 10am.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice received report of a sheep that had run onto the road, then into a building, breaking glass,\u201d said a spokesperson.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice captured the sheep and council animal control took the sheep to get treated for minor cuts.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The incident sparked a response from police and animal control.
