About 700 sheep stolen from property in Victoria’s north-west
Police are investigating the theft of about 700 sheep in Victoria’s north-west.
The merino ewes with purple ear tags and white Suffolk Merino Cross lambs with red ear tags — valued at about $139,000 — were stolen from a farm at Logan between October 21 and February 1.
Investigators believe the animals may have been transported interstate.
It’s believed the thieves would have required a significant amount of portable fencing, as well as sheep dogs to round up the sheep and trucks to transport them.
Property owners didn’t notice the sheep missing until February as the last full stock count happened in October.
