More than 100 sheep have been stolen from fields in Warwickshire over the summer.

Twenty two lambs were stolen from fields between Loxley and Wellesbourne, between 12 and 25 July, police said. Eighty eight ewes and lambs were taken from fields near Kenilworth between 9 and 21 August.

Rural crime officers were working to investigate the missing animals amid concerns they were illegally slaughter, Warwickshire Police said.

"The sheep may have gone missing over the course of several days or at the same time," the force added and said it was aware of sheep also going missing from neighbouring force areas. Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
