The RCMP is searching for six horses that were stolen from a farm in the Winfield, Alberta area.
RCMP believe that the horses were taken sometime during the night of December 6, 2017 and were discovered missing by their owners the following morning. They believe that someone unknown entered the property which is located in the area of Highway 13 between Buck Lake and Winfield.
Tracks found at the scene indicate that a truck and trailer were used to load up and take away the six horses.
"These horses are like family to their owners," says RCMP Corporal Curtis Peters. "They are devastated by this. It's our hope that they can be returned safe and sound as soon as possible."
