Police are appealing for information after a sheep had to be euthanised after being found with severe injuries.
Around 9:30am on Wednesday 26th July, the injured ewe was located by a member of the public on the green belt area between Ida Street and Waterford Road, in Norton.
The sheep had severe injuries which would have prevented it from walking. Tyre marks were found leading to and from the footpath accessing the grassed area. It is believed that the ewe had been dumped on the grassed area from a vehicle.
The ewe was taken to the vet where it was decided that to prevent further suffering it would be euthanised.
Anyone who may have information regarding the incident is asked to contact PC Lisa Kennerley on 101, quoting reference number 148195.
Independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555 111.
