Seventy-nine sheep worth thousands of pounds’ stolen from moorland   

Forty-one Rough Fell sheep and 38 lambs from a farm in Castleton have gone missing from open moorland in the last few month.

 

Most of the sheep have yellow tags bearing the number 127821 and have their left ear notched, with two blue stripes across their back.

 

Anyone with information about the sheep, especially if found in a different location or offered for sale, has been urged to contact PC Wayne Leith via email wayne.leith@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk or quoting reference number 12200165977.

“Livestock theft can be devastating for farmers and their businesses, as well as causing unnecessary suffering to animals.

 

“If you think you have been a victim, or you have any information about who is committing these crimes, please call us.

 

“We take all reports extremely seriously as we work to keep these criminals away from North Yorkshire’s farms.”

 

Details about the sheep have been circulated to auctioneers, Rural Watch groups and other police forces.
