"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 the PSNI website or, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
