Wiltshire Police Rural Crime Team on livestock worrying

A south west police force is urging dog walkers to keep their dogs on leads and under control when near livestock - after a number of attacks on flocks of sheep.

Wiltshire Rural Crime Team, part of Wiltshire Police, has issued a warning to dog owners and reminding them that livestock worrying is a criminal offence, and you can be fined up to £1,000.

The force has recently uploaded a video, in which a dog walker explains their experience when their dogs chased a flock of sheep.

The police force has offered advice on how to prevent livestock worrying.
