A second teenager has been arrested by Surrey Police after fourteen lambs were killed by a car which drove onto a field.

Surrey Police are investigating the incident, which took place overnight on 17-18 January, causing the death of several lambs at a farm in Bramley.

The force said it believed a vehicle had entered the private farmland and then mowed over the lambs.

A second teenager, a 19-year-old man, of no fixed address, has now been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

He was arrested on suspicion of a second count of criminal damage, two counts of common assault and arson in relation to separate incidents.

Last week, a 15-year-old boy from Redhill was arrested on suspicion of two counts of criminal damage.
