Police hunt launched after 'Britain's ugliest sheep' is stolen from field

Cops are hunting thieves who stole 'Britain’s ugliest sheep'. The nine-month-old Texel lamb, named Scuzzy, was last seen on January 6 playing in a field near her home in Northumberland.

She was born with deformed features which means she only has one eye and her mouth is twisted into a fixed moody grimace. Fans on social media quickly called her 'Britain’s ugliest sheep' after snaps of her wonky expressions were posted online.

Her owner Michelle Pouton jokingly named her Scuzzy and kept her as a pet on the farm she runs near St Oswald’s Way on the edge of Rothbury. Michelle, 60, fears Scuzzy may have been stolen on account of her bizarre features.
