Police are investigating the theft of 50 lambs from land in Claudy. 
The Texel and Suffolk-bred ewe lambs, which have orange markings, are reported to have been taken from a field on Teenaght Road sometime between 7pm on Thursday, 25th January and 7am on Friday 26th January. 
Constable Holden said: "This will be a significant financial loss to the owner, and so our appeal is for anyone with information about what has happened to get in touch. 
"To transport these lambs anywhere would have required a trailer and so we are keen to hear from anyone who was in the Teenaght Road area between the reported times, or earlier in the week, and saw any suspicious activity or unfamiliar vehicles." 
The number to call with information is 101, quote reference 1116 of 26/01/24 or make a report online via www.psni.police.uk/report or, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
