Boy aged 15 arrested after 14 lambs killed in Surrey

Surrey Police said the incident had caused considerable distress to the owner of the farm and the wider community

The incident took place at a farm in Bramley, near Guildford, overnight between 17 and 18 January, Surrey Police said.

The 15-year-old from Redhill was arrested on suspicion of two counts of criminal damage.

He has since been released on bail, pending further investigation, a police spokesperson said.

Police said a vehicle was believed to have been driven on to the property, damaging a gate in the process, and then used to run over the lambs.
