Police are investigating after four lambs were killed and three others injured in livestock attacks in rural Denbighshire.

Both incidents took place in the Bryneglwys area, with the first occurring on Monday, August 14th, where four lambs were killed and three injured.

The second attack took place nearby on Wednesday, August 30th, where two spaniels were seen attacking sheep in fields off Bryn Orsedd to Rhoslydan Road.

PC Ian Nicholls said: “Attacks on livestock are distressing for farmers, who have lost financially and see the results these vicious attacks.

“I would appeal to any dog owners in the area, particularly those with spaniels, to check their boundary fences and ensure that their dogs are under control at all times.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact North Wales Police on 101 or via the force’s website using reference number A139293.
