Forty sheep worth more than £5,000 have been stolen from a farm in Kinross-shire.

Twenty ewes and 20 lambs were taken from Fossoway, west of Kinross, at some point between July 8 and July 31.

After the farmer found they had not simply wandered off, the theft was reported to police last Monday (August 26).

Officers have now launched an appeal for information.

The sheep are believed to be worth an estimated £5,400.
