Sheep put down after dog attack

Police are asking a dog owner to come forward after a number of sheep were injured in Douglas.

The incident happened last Friday afternoon in a farmer’s fields between Douglas Crematorium and Ballanard Road.

The dog severely injured a number of sheep and lambs, which had to be put down.

The incident follows a similar attack a few weeks ago at the same place.

Police say the dog would have had blood on it afterwards, and they’re urging witnesses to contact them.

If you have any information call police headquarters on 631212.
