Police in Down are appealing for information following the theft of sheep in the Saintfield area.
Sometime between noon on Tuesday 29 March and 8am on Wednesday, 30 March, 18 ewes and 32 lambs were taken from Monlough Road. The ewes have orange dots on their back and the lambs have numbers on them matching their mothers’, although these may be faint. The lambs are 7-8 weeks old and are dependent on their mothers.
Constable Barnes said: “We believe a vehicle would have been needed to transfer the sheep and we would like to hear from anyone who noticed any unusual activity or vehicles in the area. We can be contacted in Downpatrick on 101, quoting ref: 612 300316.”
If you prefer to provide information without giving your details you can contact the independent Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
