A spokesman for the force said: "Lambing season is well underway, if you are going out walking in the countryside through farmland please put your dogs on a lead, there is no excuse.

"We receive too many reports of dog attacks on livestock when it is easily avoidable by being responsible for your dog when walking, keeping them under control.

"For those who already do, thank you!"

If you witnessed either of the attacks or have any information that may help police, call 101 or email [email protected] quoting LC-20240201-1357.
