Lothian and Borders Police Police are appealing for information following the theft of eight rare breeding ducks from Bilston, Midlothian.
The Khaki Campbell Ducks were stolen from a breeding pen located at a smallholding in Seafield Road, between midday and 6pm, on Saturday, July 10.
Four males and four females were stolen (four breeding pairs), which are valued at around £50 each. Although there were other ducks in the pen, the Khaki Campbell ducks were the only ones taken.
A police spokesman said: “We suspect that these ducks have been stolen for sale, and we are appealing for any information that can help reunite them with their owner.
“Anyone who has been offered the ducks for sale, or who has any information that can help lead to their recovery, should get in touch immediately.”
Anyone with any information should contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131, or Crimestoppers in confidence and complete anonymity on 0800 555 111.
