A FARMER has had the wool pulled over his eyes after thieves stole 36 sheep from his Herefordshire land.

The animals, worth more than £2,000 collectively, disappeared sometime between last November - when they were set out to graze - and Saturday, March, 8.

Hereford Police are appealing for information from anyone who may have seen the sheep being loaded into a vehicle near the Garnstone Estate, Weobley, to contact them on 08457 444888.
