As the three crooks fled the scene of the crime - two on motorbikes and one driving the car - in Bukit Mertajam, Malaysia, on Friday, however, the car broke down under the weight of the four beasts.



The crooks took flight, abandoning the car and the cows about seven miles from the farm they had stolen them from.



Deputy police chief Chin Soo Song said: ‘They drove away but their car broke down a short distance away, forcing them to abandon the vehicle and its booty.’
