Pony taken from Denmead stables in overnight break-in
Strawberry, a brown and white Shetland pony, was stolen from her stables in Denmead last week
A family has launched an appeal to find Strawberry, a pony who was stolen from her stables in Denmead last week.
Strawberry was found to be missing from her stables near Furzeley Corner on Tuesday November 3. The gate to the stables had been broken into, and the padlock and chain taken away.
Zoe Thompson Roberts, whose granddaughter, Cady Rose owns the horse, said: “Nothing else was taken. We had another horse and two goats in the stables but they only took Strawberry, probably because she is so small.
“My granddaughter is absolutely devastated. Strawberry is on medication too for her leg and back.
“A neighbour’s camera picked up torch light in the field between 9.55pm and 10.15pm but that is it.”
The family reported the incident to the police. A spokesperson for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police said: “We have received a report that, between 4.30pm on 3 November and 8.50am on 4 November, a brown and white Shetland pony named Strawberry was stolen from an address in Furzeley Corner.
“If anyone has any information about this incident, please call 101 quoting reference 44260540015.”
