Description:
A petting farm owner has been left ‘heartbroken’ after six ducklings were stolen by burglars in an early morning raid.<br/><br/>Suzie Wright, 41, said the baby mallards, which are just three to four weeks old, had been snatched from her Little Haven Farm at around 2am on Sunday (June 9).<br/><br/>She said the intruders broke in through a side gate of the estate in Hedon, Hull, and scooped up the golden-coloured Cherry Valley ducks from an outdoor pen. <br/><br/>They were then “scared off” by her family's pet Labrador Penny - with police now appealing for anyone with information of the incident to come forward.<br/><br/>Devastated Suzie hoped those responsible for taking the birds, which she had rescued, did not have any “sinister” ambitions and would return them.<br/><br/>She said: “It’s heartbreaking, and it's worrying for us about the safety of the animals that we still have. <br/><br/>“You don’t want someone to come onto your property without permission, you don’t want them to come and help themselves to your animals.<br/><br/>“Then you’ve got the worry of what’s going to happen to those animals now they are gone and why they have been taken.<br/><br/>“We’re hoping that someone has taken them selfishly because they want some ducks of their own to have at their house - and not for more sinister reasons.\
