Police seeking to identify two people after an incident of sheep worrying have now interviewed and cautioned a 37-year-old woman.

On Wednesday, officers from the Ribble Valley rural task force issued an appeal to find two women following the incident, which happened on Tuesday in Trawden.

After several enquiries, police were able to identify the woman, from Colne, and issued her with a caution for being the owner of a dog which worried livestock on agricultural land.

A spokesperson for the police said: "Following on from yesterday's investigation into a dog worrying livestock in the Trawden area, officers from the Ribble Valley Rural Task Force have interviewed a 37-year-old female from Colne.

"As a result of this she has been issued with a caution for being the owner of a dog which worried livestock on agricultural land.

"Thankfully on this occasion no sheep were injured however please remember that it is an offence to allow a dog to worry sheep.

"It is vital therefore that you keep your dog on the lead around livestock, even if you can usually trust it to come to call."

On Wednesday the rural task force said they would like to speak with two women in connection with the incident, which happened in the Bouldsworth Road area of Trawden between 2pm and 2.15pm on Tuesday.

At the time of the appeal, a spokesperson for the police said: "Livestock worrying has a substantial financial and emotional impact on farmers.

"Legally, a dog must be on a lead or otherwise under close control in a field in which there are sheep.

"Please act responsibly in the countryside and keep your dog on a lead near livestock."
