12 Border Collie Puppies Stolen in Brazen Farm Break-In
Early this morning at Parsonage Farm in Bramshaw, New Forest, heartless thieves struck. After returning from lambing, farm staff discovered that twelve Border Collie puppies and a breeding dog had been snatched in a daring raid.
Thieves Raid Farm Buildings in Dead of Night
At around 1:40am, seven suspects were spotted prowling the farmyard. They broke into multiple farm buildings, supposedly hunting for machinery. Instead, they made off with a black and white collie bitch and her three-day-old pups, plus six five-week-old puppies – all without their mother.
“A black and white collie bitch and her 3-day old pups have been stolen from Parsonage Farm, Bramshaw, New Forest. We need to find them! The puppies need a heat lamp and will die if they get cold. Also stolen, 6 x 5 weeks old collie pups WITHOUT their mother.”
