The suspects, all of whom were between the ages of 13 and 21, were caught with goats in their possession, including one that was being hidden inside a baby carriage and another inside a shopping bag, a police statement said.
The suspects were taken to a police station in Jerusalem to be investigated on suspicion of disturbing the public order, and the goats were confiscated and transferred for necessary veterinary treatment, the statement added.
