Exmouth police are warning dog owners to keep their pets on a lead when walking through fields of newborn lambs.

The message comes after several lambs were killed by a dog as it was being walked on farmland at Bicton.

The police said one lamb was killed outright by the dog, while two others had to be humanely destroyed by a vet.

The owner of the dog was likely to be made subject of a dog control order, the police said

Officers said dog walkers should use ‘common sense and courtesy’ when exercising their pets near livestock.

The police say drivers ignoring red traffic lights on one of Exmouth’s busiest junctions face injury or accident.

Littleham’s police team say they have received a number of reports drivers are failing to obey red lights at Hospital Corner, on the junction of Claremont Grove and Salterton Road.

Officers are concerned accidents could occur if motorists continue to ignore traffic signals.

Police community support officer Malcolm Maguire said: “We urge drivers who approach the junction from all directions to ensure they do so in a safe and lawful manner in order to avoid any accidents or collisions.”

Exmouth police are urging beachgoers to keep a close eye on their property in a bid to thwart thieves.

The message comes after officers received reports a camera was stolen from a bag on March 17, between 2pm and 3.30pm, while the owner was fishing near Mamhead View.

Officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have been offered a Nikon D300 DSLR camera, or saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area around the time of the theft.
