0462.25 Nancy and Lucy 1.jpg

We are appealing for any information which could lead to the safe return of Lucy, a two-month-old horse foal stolen from the Truro area.

Lucy is a female chestnut skewbald Shetland pony, she was taken between the 11 and 12 July from farmland near Allet.

PC Lucy Wyatt, lead for Equine Crime at Devon & Cornwall Police said: "Lucy's owner is understandably distraught. At this age, foals are reliant on their mother's milk and we are fearing for Lucy's safety.

“We’re appealing for anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity or vehicles in the area to report it to us. At her age and size, it is possible that Lucy could fit in a vehicle.

“We don’t have any more information at this time about the time or date that Lucy was taken but it would have required someone to enter the field and take hold of Lucy before removing her.

"If anyone has any information about Lucy's whereabouts, please, please get in contact. Equally, if you have Lucy, please bring her home.

“Please share this post and let's get Lucy back home safely."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact us via our website or call 101 quoting crime reference number 50250178907.

Alternatively, information can be shared anonymously with CrimeStoppers: https://crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555111.
