The RSPCA has condemned pranksters who put a sheep in a trolley and pushed it into a supermarket.

The group was caught on CCTV at 3am in Asda in Bexleyheath, The Daily Telegraph reports.

It is believed that the group, who took photographs of the stunt, stole the sheep from a farm in Kent and took it to the shop in a car.

RSPCA inspector Andrew Kirby said that the sheep appears to be in good physical condition.

"This stupid, irresponsible stunt would have terrified this poor sheep and caused it great stress by removing it from its flock," he added. "We have tracked down the sheep's owner but we can't return it to its flock for six days because of restrictions on the movement of livestock."

Asda store manager Joe Lock also criticised the prank, saying: "We were shocked to discover that a poor sheep had been wheeled into our store. We hope the culprits hand themselves in."

The shop's employees have named the sheep Rob.
