Thames Valley Police have confirmed that 11 sheep were stolen from Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire. The force received reports of the theft on Wednesday, with the animals believed to have been taken within the last 10 days.
No arrests have been made in connection with the incident. Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
Clarkson, 66, reportedly discovered the sheep were missing when he and his Clarkson's Farm co-star Kaleb Cooper went to count the flock. The presenter owns the farm, which is the subject of a popular television series documenting his attempts at agriculture. The theft adds another challenge to the farm's operations, which have been a focus of public attention.
