- Daventry Area Crime - Lambs slaughtered in Crick field
pproximately 10 lambs have been illegally slaughtered in a field near Crick.
The gruesome remains were found by the farmer’s 8 year old son sometime this morning.
It would appear that the animals were killed, de-fleeced and butchered before the assailants left with the meat of the animals.
Such incidents have been rare of late following a number of similar incidents in the area earlier in the year.
The Farmers have so far commented; ‘Today the worst thing happened that my children witnessed. Words cannot describe how I feel after all the hard work and love that goes into our stock. Today I feel like giving up.’
If you have any information, no matter how trivial you may feel it may be, Please call the Police on 101.
