Meanwhile, information is also sought by police in the sad case of a sheep being attacked at Denbridge Field, Castle Crawford, Crawford on the afternoon of Wednesday, October 31. A vet was summoned but the animal’s injuries were so severe, it was immediately put down. A dog is, of course, the prime suspect. Witnesses to the attack are sought.

In the afternoon of Monday, October 29 a white Ford Transit was struck by an unknown vehicle on Main Street, Carnwath. Police say it is possible that the driver who struck the van is unaware of the incident.

Anyone with any information on the above cases are urged to contact Police on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
