A 15-year-old boy from Redhill has been arrested on suspicion of two counts of criminal damage and later released following an incident on a Bramley Farm in which 14 sheep were killed.

A vehicle is believed to have driven onto the property and run over the lambs.

Farmer Nick Hutley described being shocked to find the lambs dead or dying on Thursday morning (January 18).
