PSNI appeal for witnesses after 'substantial number of sheep' stolen in Co Derry

A rope securing the gate that leads onto the field was cut and the gate was left wide open, enabling the release of flock.

POLICE IN THE North are appealing for information after a “substantial number of sheep” were stolen.

PSNI have received a report that sheep were stolen yesterday from land in the Rhee Lane area of Coleraine in Co Derry.

PSNI Chief Inspector McIldowney said the “substantial number of sheep” were last seen on Monday.

He added: “When officers reviewed the entrance to the farmland, it appears the rope securing the gate that leads onto Rhee Lane has been cut and the gate was left wide open, enabling the release of flock.”

McIldowney said this represents a “huge financial loss to the owner” and he appealed to anyone with information, or who may have noticed suspicious activity in the area, to contact police quoting reference 934 of 28/11/23.

“If you spotted any unknown vehicles, such as trailers, please do get in touch,” said McIldowney.

He also reminded the public that information can be provided to the independent charity, which he said it “100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop rural crime”.

    All these agencies have yet to knowledge that no amount of enforcement in any country on this planet has ever eradicated one illicit drug from existence.

    Kind of defeats the purpose of this failed war on drugs

    How about the fact that it’s been proved increased spending does not affect drug consumption and supply. This is from a recent NACDA study just out.

    Tor browser is not really used for encryption has there are unencrypted links in the web. It’s strength is that it sends data through a huge network so that it is hard to trace data and therefore find out who is connecting to what.

    Re Darren

    Wasn’t there an investigative piece last year on Tor which showed that the NSA backed it and it was in fact the complete opposite of what it was supposed to be. It tracked everything.

    Yes it’s used for encryption. The connection between you and the entry node is encrypted as are the hops between the entry node and the exit node. Otherwise your ISP would see exactly what you are doing. It’s only the connection between the exit node and the server that’s not always encrypted, but that’s fine because traffic source at that stage cannot be identified.

    Precisely my point. At the last exit point the tor network the data is unencrypted and potentially can be viewed at the point but not tracked.

    have a read its about the history of Tor http://pando.com/2014/07/16/tor-spooks/ no wonder they found them, probably just starting to hurt their own arms and drugs sales.

    I think you are underestimating the importance of the encryption. It protects you from ISP snooping. Something the Tor network cannot do without the encryption.

    Both admins of sr1 & sr2 were found through their own arrogance and stupidity they weren’t traced through TOR. Blake bentall or “defcon” (sr2) gave a undercover cop admin privileges months ago and through that uc they were able to link an email address and ip leaks to this clown. He also made the news by being the first person to buy a Tesla car for 100k paid for with bitcoin!

    Great work by law agencies today. Fantastic. But there’ll probably be more violence on the streets because that’s where people will buy now and buy drugs of lesser quality. The wheel keeps on turning. The only way to win the war on drugs is to legalise and have the state control it. Pump tax money into hospitals clinics education. Rid the scourge on the world once and for all. Even still people will still buy them.

    400 sites 17 arrests 1 years work with police forces across the world. Good job. And don’t mention the follow up arrests, they said that the first time they took down silk Road and the arrests never happened.
