Multiple people broke into a rural Tuggeranong property and "deliberately injured" several sheep, resulting in the death of one animal and the euthanasia of another, police say.
Officers were called to the property, located behind the pine forest adjacent to the Monaro Highway, on Thursday, September 17, after the owner arrived and found multiple injured sheep in a holding pen.
Police believe multiple people attended the property on Wednesday evening and, with the assistance of dogs, rounded up eight sheep before moving them into the holding pen.
