Police are appealing for information after five sheep had to be put down following a livestock worrying incident in Bordon.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police say two dogs entered a field opposite Hartleywood Farm in Hartley Lane on Monday 28 September.

The incident happened between 5.20pm and 6pm, when the dogs reportedly chased and attacked several sheep.

Five sheep suffered serious injuries and later had to be put to sleep.

Police have released a CCTV image of the dogs and are trying to identify their owner.

Both are described as medium-build dogs with black fur and tan markings around their muzzles, legs and tails.

Police say both dogs were wearing collars, with one also wearing a distinctive brightly coloured bow, possibly yellow.

Officers would like to speak to the owner of the dogs or anyone in the local area who may know who they belong to.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting reference 44260475459. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers.

Police are also reminding dog owners to keep their pets on leads or under close control around livestock.

Livestock worrying includes dogs attacking or chasing livestock on agricultural land and can cause serious injury or death to animals.

Police say dog owners can face prosecution if their animals worry livestock.
