Stolen lambs returned to owner in Easter miracle!

IT’S an Easter miracle! Two lambs stolen from a farm near Bridport have been found.

Dorset Police’s Rural Crime Team has revealed the blue texel lambs – a three-week-old ram and a two-week-old ewe – have been returned to a very “grateful owner”.

“One vehicle suspected to have been used to carry out the crime has been seized and one male is currently behind baaas,” a police spokesperson said.

“Both lambs have been returned to their grateful owner, with new security measures in place to prevent any future thefts.”

The lambs were taken from the property, near the B3162 north of Bridport, some time between 9pm on March 25 and 7.30am the following morning.
