Sheep Worrying near Scackleton

 

Between 15:00 12.03.18 and 08:30 13.03.18 a sheep has been killed in a field near Scackleton. The sheep looks as though it has been savaged by a dog due to the injuries received. Firstly can I ask that if anyone was in the area around these times and has seen anything suspicious can they call police on 101 and quote incident no 12180043027. Secondly can I remind dog owners that when walking their dogs near fields with sheep and other animals in can they please make sure their dogs on a lead. It is an offence to let your dog chase, injure or kill livestock.
