FOUR cows in calf have died following a horror incident on Anglesey. 

At some point between 3pm on Wednesday, August 23, and 10am on Thursday, August 24, it is suspected a dog off its lead chased cows within a farmer's field in Maenaddwyn, just outside Llannerchymedd.

The four cows fell down a steep embankment, sustained "catastrophic injuries" and died.

A spokesperson from North Wales Police's Rural Crime team said: "This incident will result in a significant financial loss to the farmer as well as the emotional impact of finding his stock in such terrible circumstances.

"If you have any information in relation to this incident or if you know that your dog had escaped during the time frame given and you believe they may have been responsible, please contact us on 101, or via the website."
