Police are appealing for information after two sheep were found dead in Larne.
A report was received on Tuesday, March 17 that two sheep had been found dead in a field in the Glenarm area.
The deaths appear to have been caused deliberately and not by an animal.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “This is a senseless and extremely cruel crime, and we would be keen to hear from anyone who noticed anything unusual in the area during the times above.”
The incident is not being linked to a separate report of 13 lambs being killed in Rostrevor, Co Down last weekend.
The PSNI appealed for information as the animals were found with their necks broken at a farm between Friday night and Saturday morning in what has been described as a “shocking crime”.
