Constable Mailey said: “It was reported that sometime between 8.30am on October 26 and 8.30am on October 27, forced entry was gained to a field containing a number of livestock. Tyre marks left at the scene would indicate that a vehicle was used to transport the lambs away from the location. The lambs can be identified by red markings to the neck and back.
