SHEEP rustlers have targeted another farm in the Lake District.
Police are investigating the theft of 45 sheep from farm land in the area of Winster, Windermere, which occurred between September 16 and 20.
Last month the Gazette reported that there had been an "unprecedented" increase in livestock thefts across the country with Cumbria one of the areas consistently being targeted by rural crime gangs.
Anyone with information should contact police quoting log 173 of September 20.
