Lincolnshire Police are investigating after three goats were stolen from a field in Lincoln.
The alleged theft happened some time on Sunday evening, June 21, from a field on Canwick Road.
Two of the goats have been found, but only the head of the third animal has been discovered on the property.
Lincolnshire Police officers have launched an investigation into the incident and have appealed for any witnesses who may have seen any suspicious activity in the area around the time or seen anyone with the animals.
Mr Pickles was stolen on June 21
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police said: “This is a particularly cruel act that has understandably left the owners very distressed because these animals are actually family pets. The motive for this offence is as yet unknown and is one of our lines of enquiry.
“Part of that is information from the public – did you see or hear anything unusual in the Washingborough Road area on Sunday evening? Did you see any individuals with the animals in the area?”
Anyone with information should contact Lincolnshire Police on 101 quoting incident 65 of 25/06/2015. Alternatively you contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Mr Pickle’s head was found in the owner’s garden.

Councillors voted on the deal, which would see a mayor elected for a new authority covering Lincolnshire, North and North East Lincolnshire authorities. This new setup will control funding for housing, job creation, and public transport, including buses.
Residents have slammed a Home Office engagement meeting regarding its plans for the RAF Scampton asylum centre, labelling it “propaganda.”
The government agency scheduled two sessions at the Lincolnshire Showground for Thursday evening: the first targeted local residents identified as vulnerable by the Department for Health and Social Care, and the second was for local business owners. However, attendees left the meetings visibly annoyed.
