An appeal for information has been made by authorities following the theft of Aberdeen Angus and Friesian calves from a field in Co. Armagh last week.

In a call for information this morning, Wednesday, July 1, members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said:

“Four calves are believed to have been stolen from a field on the outskirts of Milford village, sometime between 6:00pm on Thursday, June 25, and 4:00pm on Friday, June 26.

The calves were two black Angus males, one black Angus female and one Friesian male.

Asking if members of the public saw anything suspicious in the area, the PSNI appealed: “If you have any information regarding this incident please contact Police on 101 quoting reference number 475 of 30/06/2020.”
