TWO dogs have attacked and killed several sheep near Darwen Tower.

Detectives are searching for the owners of two Hungarian vislas following the attack on the Darwen moorlands yesterday between 9am and 10am.

A police spokesman said: "It is believed that one of the dogs appeared to have recently had puppies as its nipples were enlarged.

"Neither dog had collars on and appeared to be a darker chestnut colour than a standard Visla. They were seemingly well fed and quite large in appearance."

Anyone who has any information should contact the police on 101 and quote log number LC-2019-0217-0530 or alternatively email jon.hulton@lancashire.pnn.police.uk.
