Police warning for livestock farmers
Police are warning farmers or smallholdings with livestock to be vigilant to suspicious activity after two incidents of illegal sheep slaughtering in the county. The first incident occurred just before Christmas in Sproughton when the owner found the remains of one of the sheep by a stream and the second incident took place near Chelmondiston between 21 and 22 February. Someone cut the throats of three sheep that were grazing in a field situated off Berners Lane, near Chelmondiston, before removing the carcasses and leaving them in a small wooded area next to the field where two of three sheep were also left partially skinned. On Monday 9 April, officers recovered a bag close to a flock of sheep and believe the contents within may be linked to this type of illegal activity. Anyone living in areas where sheep graze should report any out of the ordinary activity such as individuals handling livestock. Members of the public should also be mindful of being offered meat for sale in suspicious circumstances. To report anything suspicious contact Suffolk police on 101.
