POLICE are calling on the public’s assistance after sheep, tools and a large amount of grain were stolen from a drought-affected farmer in Trundle.
The incident occurred at a property on Yarrabandi Road in Trundle and included the theft of 20 fat lambs.
NSW Police state rural crime co-ordinator Detective Inspector Cameron Whiteside said the theft occurred during the past few weeks.
"The lambs are tagged with ‘K Park’," he said.
Det Insp Whiteside said the theft would have been well planned and would have required a heavy vehicle.
"The theft of this grain would more than likely have required a large truck to transport from the property," he said.
"A quantity of tools were also stolen."
Det Insp has urged any members of the public with information or who may have seen any suspicious vehicles in that area during the past few weeks to contact police.
Call Tullamore Police Station on 6892 5000 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
