The llamas that caused chaos on the M50 yesterday have been stolen from the pound where they were being held.

The five llamas - as well as three goats - were transferred to a holding pound in Summerhill, Co Meath after being rounded up by Dublin County Council at the Red Cow roundabout.

However, they were reported missing from the pound this morning by its contractors.
