LAMBS frolicking in the sunshine is not an unfamiliar sight at this time of year - but for one farmer in Thetford, the popular sight has disappeared from his fields.

Nine lambs have been targeted by thieves, stolen from a field in East Wretham on the Suffolk, Norfolk border.

Police officers are appealing for information to help with inquiries into the disappearance of the two-day-old pedigree Shetland lambs.

They are believed to have been stolen sometime overnight between Thursday, April 16 and Friday, April 17.

Currently there is no evidence to suggest they have been taken by a fox.
