Any luck in court yet regarding sheep theft

Any luck in court yet regarding sheep theft

Thanks for asking.
The wheels are 'grinding' very slowly .
There have been two arrests (both released 'under investigation'). The last we heard from the police, they were preparing the case for the CPS.

It seems to be taking for ever, but fortunately, since I caught the first bloke we've not lost any more sheep (although there have been two more incidents within 10 or 12 miles - slightly different m.o's though).

Still can't say too much but I promise I'll give you 'chapter and verse' when I can 'cos there's lots of stuff that's gone on and some of it may help anybody else that finds themselves in the same boat as us.

I looks like the ba5tards are at it again - the farm next door but one lost 3 she hoggs last night He thinks they were taken the same way as ours (lifted alive, over a fence and onto the road.)

Appalling!

Can't even bring myself to imagine the special place in Hell for types like them!

Time for a stake out with a shot gun?
Doesn’t sound like they’re bothered about being caught, can’t believe how brazen they are, absolutely shocking!

You maybe need some of those sheep guard dogs they have in other countries for chasing off wolves etc. Look like a sheep but have big teeth

Could be a market for teasered psycho tups in the near future.........

Knowing our luck, the feckin' Romanians would have them away too

Yeah, we could do with a trailer load of these........

Well, they've been back to our neighbour's again

After losing 3 hoggs just under a month ago, they were back on Friday night. This time they broke into the yard and had another hogg and 3, six week old cade lambs out of a shed. They took these across the road, broke into another field and killed and skinned them there.....

Who the hell, in their right mind, kills little cade lambs like that to eat?? Mindless barstewards

Needless to say we're all back on 'red alert' again round here

I hate seeing an alert pop up for this thread
I don't know what to say
I hope the barstewards stab themselves in the jugular cutting it up

I hope the police are taking this seriously, no one in their right mind would do that!
You guys please be careful, maybe buy a few pigs.... just in case you find them before the police

Think you need the fox lamping boys round, if they don’t catch them at least they can scare the sh!t out of them

We've got all sorts of folks looking out for us but the bu66ers keep on coming back

It's very difficult to watch everywhere at once. What's also bloody annoying is having to count mobs of sheep regularly 'cos without counting 'em you can't be sure there's not 2 or 3 missing from a field.

Just had a thought. Ramadan is coming up in early may or the end of April. The cades could easily fit in a freezer till then. Just saying
Weren't the others just before a religious festival of some sort too? What happened to the one they caught?

Weren't the others just before a religious festival of some sort too?

The very first ones were.

What happened to the one they caught?

The one I caught? (feckin' Plod round here couldn't catch a cold)

Despite the fact that, when they went to look, he had a sheep pen at the back of his terraced house and a deep freeze full of meat, they let him go, 'cos he said, "He didn't do it" and I caught him before they had got any sheep that night

They didn't take any meat for evidence (only photos) and when Trading Standards went back 10 days later (so it could be DNA linked to our tups), miraculously, all the meat was from Tescos

That is seriously taking the p***!
I hope some complaints have been lodged somewhere
