Published on Monday, December 19, 2011 in General
A tip-off led Northern NSW Police to the bodies of 25 dead ponies about 1.00pm on Saturday. The ponies were dumped off a cliff close to the New England Highway, located near a truck parking bay between Glen Innes and Armidale.
Police say there were no obvious signs of injury and no identifying marks or brands to help locate an owner for the dead animals.
Officers photographed the ponies, which were of various ages and colours, before they were buried at the site.
It is believed a small to medium-sized truck was used to dump the animals and Police have called for anyone with information to contact Glen Innes Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
