00:02The sheep were stolen sometime between February and May from a property just outside Blackall,
00:07about three hours from here. Officers became aware of the theft in June after the property
00:12owners did a head count of their sheep and realised about 5,500 of them were missing.
00:18The stock is a mix of black-headed and white-headed daupers worth about $1.7 million.
00:24Police are calling for information to help find those responsible and want to speak to anyone
00:29who has noticed suspicious stock movements or livestock transport activity.
00:34That little piece of information that they may be holding might be the key or a missing link to our
00:39investigation.
00:41Investigators are keeping an open mind about how far the flock could have been moved
00:45and are working with interstate authorities.
