Police also found two men wearing bloodstained T-shirts. They were arrested.
The authorities suspect that the animals would be illegally slaughtered on the occasion of Eid-al-Adha, the Islamic festival of sacrifice. The police also found some sheep that had already been slaughtered. The remaining animals were handed over to a breeder.
To prevent illegal use of the flat, the rental company had installed a special security door. An inspection was carried out on Friday and the apartment was found to be uninhabited. The presence of the animals was noticed on Sunday, when the police were present in the building for a control action.
