Police are asking farmers to be wary after the remains of eight stolen sheep were found strewn across a garden and layby in rural Kent.

Kent Police received reports between 24 and 29 November that the remains of six sheep had been strewn across the garden of an address in Otford Lane, Halstead.

The hides and entrails of two more sheep were later discovered dumped in a layby in Ovenden Road, Sundridge.

It's a odd one because the gutting and skinning (done quickly and without anyone noticing) suggests a skilled butcher but then the bits they didn't want are scattered around, including in someone's garden (increasing the chance of discovery) which doesn't seem very "professional".

wild animals often scatter body parts?
