Sheep go 'A-wool' from St Marks

Police are appealing for information after five sheep went missing from land in St Marks.

Officers say the 'mule' breed animals which have orange marks on their backs disappeared sometime between Saturday, October 19 and Thursday, October 24.

The constabulary added it's not clear if they've wandered off or been stolen, but it's aware there have been a number of agricultural thefts in the south of the Island in the last 18 months.

Anyone who might have information on the whereabouts of the animals are being asked to contact Castletown Police Station.
