POLICE Officers are appealing for the public’s assistance aftera number of sheep have been stolen from fields at Maxwellbank near Lochmaben, between 19/01/2021 and 23/01/2021.
A police spokesperson said “There are indications that the sheep were walked out of the fields onto the Watchill road, thereafter into a waiting large livestock trailer or cattle truck. This would likely require the use of trained dogs/handler.
