Appeal For Information Following Sheep Being Run Over in Field

Warwickshire Police are appealing for information after a number of sheep are sadly believed to have been deliberately run over and killed in a field near Bidford.
Officers were informed yesterday that three sheep had been found dead in a field at the Barton Crossroads/Honeybourne Road on Friday.
A further eight ewes were found dead in the same field yesterday (11/3/20), and another seven were severely injured and had to be put down.
Rural Crime Officer Carol Cotterill said: “This is a very distressing incident which has left a number of sheep injured or deceased, and has caused their owner to be understandably shaken and upset.
“Unfortunately we do believe this to be a deliberate act and we are treating these offences very seriously. We are currently working with the RSPCA to identify the circumstances of the incident.
“If anyone has any information, or witnessed any suspicious vehicles or behaviour in this location over the past week, please call 101 and quote incident number 47 of 11 March 2020.
“Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, may help us to investigate this cruel act and identify those responsible.”
Information can also be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their website.
