Trespassing scrambler riders terrorising ewes risking miscarriage of lambs

Trespassing scrambler riders have been terrorising ewes in the Sperrins risking the miscarriage of lambs, police have said.

The PSNI have appealed for the riders to desist.

“We've received a report of scramblers being used on land in the Plumbridge area without the farmer's permission. It's reported this is resulting in pregnant ewes becoming scared, forcing them to run and potentially miscarriage their lambs.

“We're urging people not to engage in this type of activity, and to be mindful of the potential consequences,” the PSNI stated.
