More than 100 dead lambs have been found dumped in a field.

It is believed the corpses were transported in a truck to be left in bags at Hill Farm in Radlett sometime between 3pm on April 7 and 3.45pm on April 8.

According to Hertfordshire Constabulary, 101 lambs were found after suspects were believed to have accessed the farm via a road called Kemprow.

PC Richard Donbavand said: “This is being treated as flytipping until we know more about how and why the lambs came to be there.

“We believe a truck ranging from a flat-bed to a box van in size may have been used to carry the lambs so would reiterate the appeal for anyone who may have seen a vehicle like this in the area during the times stated, to contact police.”

Anyone with information can contact police online or via non-emergency number 101 quoting reference 41/27785/22.
