Sheep rustlers hunted by police

Police are hunting for a gang of sheep rustlers who stole 132 sheep from a farm in Cumbria.

Five rams, and 127 ewes which were expecting lambs, were taken from the Cartmel area earlier this month, a Cumbria Police spokeswoman said.

The white face Welsh sheep are all marked with a black letter P on the right side and have each ear has a piece clipped out.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
