At Last - someone caught!

Man arrested in Lancashire pedigree sheep theft
28 February 2014 | By Olivia Midgley

POLICE have arrested a man in connection with the theft of 58 sheep from a farm in Lancashire.


The 58 pedigree Beltex and cross-bred recipient ewes were stolen from Wray, near Lancaster almost three weeks ago.

Dan Towers, who owns the ewes with his father, said it had taken 12 years to build up the flock, bringing in stock from Scotland, Belgium and Northern Ireland.

A 48-year-old man from Skipton, West Yorkshire, has been arrested on suspicion of theft and has been bailed until April 22.

No, no - at least 7 years in Australia for that! (Saves on rope - and he'll learn all about sheep that way, and why he shouldn't be stealing them!)
