News / Sheep rustling
POLICE in Shetland are trying to trace 20 sheep and lambs, including one pure breed Dutch Texel worth more than £1,100, after they were stolen from a croft in Nesting.
It is understood that all the sheep in question recently received medication, raising health concerns should they be slaughtered and sold for meat.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police immediately on 101.
