Police Investigate as Flytipping, Ask for Vehicle Sightings
PC Richard Donbavand from Hertfordshire Constabulary’s Rural Operational Support Team (ROST) said the case is being treated as flytipping for now.
“We think the lambs were transported in a vehicle the size of a box van or flatbed lorry. We urge anyone who saw such a vehicle near the farm during this time to contact us immediately.”
Police are working with the National Farmers’ Union and advise farmers to secure their land by locking gates and adopting other protective measures.
