Police warning to keep dogs under control

Police are warning people to keep their dogs under control as more of us venture into the countryside during good weather.

Officers say lambing season is now underway and dog walkers need to make sure their pets don't injure or kill livestock.

On Facebook, they're asking people to follow signs and advice, keep dogs on leads near sheep, and ensure your dog is always under control.

They say anyone allowing their dog to worry animals can end up in court, charged under the Dogs Act 1990.
