Police are appealing for information after 30 ewes and 60 lambs were stolen from a farm in Perth and Kinross.

The sheep are believed to be worth an estimated £20,000.

Police Scotland have appealed for anyone with information on the theft to contact them.

A force spokesperson said: "If members of the public saw or heard any suspicious activity in the area between the dates the sheep were taken, we would urge you to come forward."
