Two pet goats stolen from a farm in west Dorset are back home safe and sound.
Margoat and Robbie the 10-month-old pygmy goats are back where they belong - with their family.
The goats were stolen from a Greenacres property in the west Dorset village of Marshwood at around 10pm on Thursday, leaving their owners, the Hill family, heartbroken.
Tuesday 16th January, Dorset, as well as Avon and Somerset Police, attended an address in Yeovil, Somerset, and recovered both stolen pygmy goats.
The Hill family, who have lived on the farm for nearly two years, say they think several men turned up in a 4x4 vehicle to snatch the goats – believing the perpetrators knew exactly what they were doing.
Police are continuing the investigation and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
