Police are investigating the theft of 12 6 sheep from a field in Worksop.

It's reported they were taken from land on Owday Lane between Wednesday 26th and Sunday 30th June.

All the animals have a blue mark on their shoulder to identify them.

Investigating officer from South Yorkshire Police Amy Joliffe said: "This is a very sad incident which has left lambs without a mother.

"The farmer of the sheep has also lost a significant amount of money, affecting his business.

She added that the flock has been medicated, so they are not fit for human consumption for some time and continued, "we're keen to hear from anyone who has information that can assist us with our inquiry.

"No matter how small you believe your information to be, please get in touch, it could help us ensure those responsible are put before the courts."
