Police officers in Telford are investigating following the theft of a horse from a field opposite Lawley Medical Practice. The incident occurred on Farriers Green sometime between 8pm on Thursday 13th August and 7.30am on Friday 14th August.
Sometime overnight it appears that thieves cut through the wire fence that surrounded the field and then stole one of the five horses that were in the field. It appears they carefully approached the horse and then walked it to the other side of the field before cutting another hole in the fence to make their escape.
It appears the horse was then led away through the wooded area on the other side of the field before being loaded onto a lorry or trailer of some sort and being taken away.
