A LARGE amount of sheep were stolen from a farm in Bromsgrove last week prompting a police appeal for information.
The 19 sheep were stolen from Chadwick Manor Farm, Lydiate Ash, near junction four of the M5 between around 6pm on Monday (April 1) and 9am on Tuesday (April 2).
The livestock stolen were all ewes who were in lamb which would have caused distress to the animals involved and police enquiries are ongoing.
Sarah Sceats, Rural and Business Officer for north Worcestershire, said: “The farmers are understandably distressed by the damage to their livelihood but also for the welfare of the sheep who were in lamb when they were stolen.
“It would have taken a larger vehicle, possibly with a trailer, to take them.”
The force are urging anyone who may have seen anything or has dashcam or CCTV footage to call 101, quoting reference number 328i of April 2.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously via www.crimestoppers-org.uk or call 0800 555 111.
