Police in Rossendale are appealing for information after a full flock of sheep were stolen from a field in Edenfield.

A total of 271 sheep, ewes with lambs, have been stolen with a value in excess of £17,000.

The theft is thought to have taken place sometime between the Monday 10th and Thursday 13th May 2010.

PS Ben Hodgkinson from Waterfoot Police Station said:

"The offenders must have been well prepared and used a large vehicle to commit this offence.

"It is also likely that they knew how to handle the sheep, which would mean they had knowledge of animal husbandry.

"I would ask anyone who saw anything in respect of the theft of the sheep, or anyone that has any other information that might assist in their recovery to contact the Police."

Police can be contacted on 0845 1 25 35 45.

Alternatively call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
