Sheep thieves steal flock from livestock auction

Police are appealing for witnesses after 20 sheep were stolen from a North Yorkshire auction market.

It is believed the livestock were paid for at Bentham Auction Mart with false details before being driven off in a trailer.

North Yorkshire Police said two men captured on CCTV who they want to speak to may have been with another man and woman.

A spokesperson said: "Please contact us if you recognise the two men."
