Humberside Police are appealing for information following the theft of four pedigree lambs from a field in Rudston.
The lambs, Llein ewes, thought to be worth around £500 were stolen between 1400hrs and 1730hrs on Monday 17 December 2007.
It is reported an unknown person(s) entered the field and put the sheep into a van before driving off.
The remaining sheep wandered off before being found by the farmer.
Humberside Police are warning the public not to accept meat for sale unless they are sure of its origin and to only buy from reputable retailers.
Officers are also appealing for information about who might have taken the animals and are tracing witnesses who might have seen the sheep being taken.
