Police try to save piglets' bacon
Nine piglets have been stolen from a field in Norfolk.

The six-week-old Gloucestershire Old Spots piglets were stolen from a compound on the Reepham Road, Foulsham, between 1 and 2 March.

The owner believes the piglets were stolen to order as the offender would not be able to legally sell them without the paperwork from DEFRA.

Norfolk Police have appealed for anyone with any information about theft to contact officers.
