Ten sheep, some of which were pregnant, have died and others were left injured after a dog attack.

Two black lurcher-type dogs were seen near the sheep at Ystrad Meurig, Ceredigion, on New Year's Eve.

"These incidents can and should be avoided," said the force. "It is vital that all dog owners keep their dogs under control and on a lead."
