The animals are believed to have been attacked by two German Shephard-type dogs, which were spotted running towards the Greenfield Traveller Site however, there was no sign of an owner.

On Wednesday, January 23, officers from the Rural Crime Team executed a warrant at the site, where they located and seized two dogs matching the description of the offending canines.
