Escaped Convicts Dress Up as Sheep to Evade Police

Two convicts who escaped from a high security prison in Argentina, where they were jailed for robbery offenses, have evaded policemen by dressing up as sheep.

The two convicts wore full sheepskins, including the sheep's head, in what can only be described as a master class in secret agent-style disguise.

Maximiliano Pereyra and Ariel Diaz evaded over 300 policemen after their escape from an Argentinian maximum security prison a week ago, according to the Sun.

Locals have seen the pair running through fields under the cover of darkness: "They were wearing grey clothes but had full sheepskins, including the sheep's heads, over their heads and back," a farmworker said.

By day, the pair apparently conceal themselves by hiding among a flock of sheep.
Police in the area have found the search "almost impossible" due to the thousands of sheep that roam the surrounding fields.

"They can't pull the wool over our eyes forever,” one officer said.
