Police are appealing for help to trace a two-week-old lamb stolen from a field, known as 50 Acres, at Warborne Organic Farm, Warborne Lane, Boldre near Lymington.

The lamb was taken sometime between 2pm on Monday, April 7 and 7am on Tuesday, April 8.

Three people were seen in the field on Monday afternoon before the lamb was taken.

The Jacob Sheep lamb, worth around £60, has distinctive black, brown and white markings and would be easily recognisable.

Police Constable Ian Hunt of Lymington police station said "The lamb was too big to be taken by a fox and was still very attached to its mother so would not have wandered off on its own.

"The lamb has distinctive ‘Dalmatian’ markings and a white chest. I would appeal to anyone who may have information which could help us reunite the lamb with its mother to come forward."

Can you help?

Anyone who may have seen three people in the area acting suspiciously, or has any information is asked to contact PC Hunt at Lymington Police Station on 0845 045 45 45 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Mini-Com users can call 01962 875000.
