A second teenager has been arrested in connection with the deaths of several lambs at a farm in Bramley, Surrey.
Surrey Police said the 19-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
A 15-year-old from Redhill was arrested initially in connection with incident, which Waverley Neighbourhood Sgt Phil Bayman described as “extremely unusual”.
Several lambs were killed after they were run over with a vehicle at the farm and police believe the vehicle drove onto the property overnight between January 17 and 18.
“This incident is extremely unusual, and we appreciate that it will have caused considerable distress to the owner of the farm and within the wider community,” Bayman said.
“We would like to reassure you that we are taking this seriously and doing everything we can to bring those responsible to justice.
“We are asking anyone with any information, including anyone who witnessed the incident, or with any other information, particularly anyone who may have seen a damaged vehicle in the area around the time of the offence, to come forward as soon as possible.
“We are also looking for any dashcam or CCTV footage which may help our investigation.”
Surrey Police said those who wish to provide information but want to remain anonymous can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
