A ONE-day-old foal has been stolen from a field in Stourport.

The foal had been left in a secure field in Timber Lane with its mother when it was taken between 6.30pm on Wednesday and 11am yesterday.

Police believe it was lifted out of the field, which would have required at least two people. The foal is unlikely to survive without its mother.

It is described as a heavy horse breed, about 10 hands high and mostly white but with some black on its head and flank.

Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact Kidderminster police on 08457 444888 or ring Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
