Dog attack leaves sheep dead and lamb orphaned

Police in the north of the Island are appealing for witnesses after a dog attack on sheep left four animals dead.

The incident happened near Glen Dhoo close to a track to Ballaugh Plantation yesterday.

Officers say it's the third year in a row that sheep have been attacked and killed in the area -  the latest incident comes just days after the launch of a campaign asking dog owners to be responsible in the countryside.

If you have any information you're being urged to contact Police Headquarters.
