Police are keen to hear information from anyone in the area who saw any suspicious activity or unfamiliar vehicles. The PSNI said that “to transport these lambs anywhere would have required a trailer”.

The number to call with information is 101, quote reference 1954 of 24/07/25 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A spokesperson for the PSNI said: “If you notice anything untoward in your area or see unknown vehicles outside premises or on neighbouring land in rural areas, note down any important details such as a description or vehicle registration and contact police immediately.

“Police will follow up on your call and there is every possibility your prompt information could prevent a crime.”
