Wiltshire Police

A HORSE has been put to sleep after it sustained significant injuries during a suspected attempted theft from a paddock near Amesbury.

Wiltshire Police's Rural Crime Team are reminding people to be vigilant but not to panic after the "suspicious incident" in the early hours of the night on Friday, September 9.

A fence post was found snapped and moved which makes the Rural Police think someone tried to steal the horses.

Wheel marks were also found in the farmers field next to the paddock.
