Sheep run over and killed in suspected attack

A fourth sheep was also struck but has survived

Three sheep have been run over and killed in what police believe was a deliberate attack.

It is reported a gate was opened before a vehicle trespassed into a field, at a location off East Hall Hill in Boughton Monchelsea.

The attack is believed to have happened between the evening of Saturday 4 November and the following morning.

Sgt Darren Walshaw, of Kent Police’s Rural Task Force, said: "The three dead sheep were found with horrific injuries. Another was struck but survived."

Sgt Walshaw believes the "vehicle would have sustained damage" and appealed for anybody with information to come forward.
