Virginia - A 30-year-old women from Thabong faces charges of stock theft after police confiscated 12 live sheep found hidden inside a bedroom in her house yesterday.
Free State police spokesperson, Malebo Khosana, says the sheep were found after a police officer from the Odendaalsrus Stock Theft Unit received a tip off.
