Police are appealing for information following the potential theft of livestock in Gwynedd.

Between Saturday 24 October and Monday 26 October, 21 Cheviot cross ewe lambs are believed to have been taken from farmland near Bryn Meredydd in the Llandderfel area.

The lambs are aged between 6 and 10 months old, had a red spot marking between their shoulders, and were fitted with yellow and brown ear tags.

PC Ian Nicholls from the North Wales Police Rural Crime Team said: "The loss of livestock at any time is significant, but at this time of year it is felt even more acutely as farmers are not only losing stock, but also valuable breeding potential for next spring."

If you have seen these lambs, noticed any suspicious activity in the area, or saw vehicles towing livestock trailers during this period, please contact us via our live webchat or on 101 quoting reference 26000878398.
