Dyfed-Powys said 35 sheep had been stolen from a farm in Wales

Police have launched two investigations after the theft of livestock and a dog attack in Wales.

Dyfed-Powys Police's Rural Crime Team said 35 sheep - including Welsh ewe lambs and one charolais tup - had been stolen between November 14 and November 18.

The incident followed a livestock attack in Llanyre, Radnorshire, between November 1 and November 5 when two dogs reportedly killed three ewes.

Police have asked anyone with further information on either incident to contact police on 101, quoting reference 8054.
