"The theft occurred between February and April this year and the 2018 drop lambs were marked with the victim's earmark and PIC tag," State Rural Crime Co-ordinator Detective Inspector Cameron Whiteside said.

He has asked the community to view the above photos of sheep that remain in the mob and to contact police if you have any information that could assist the investigation.

Last year stock worth more than $3.2 million was stolen from properties across NSW, with sheep the most commonly stolen animal.

During the 12-month period 17,969 sheep worth $1.88m were stolen, this was followed by the theft of 1454 head of cattle worth $1.38m.

There were also 467 goats stolen, poultry (68), horses (30), dogs (19) and one pig.

There were a total of 372 separate cases of stock theft.

Despite the high numbers, Det Insp Whiteside told Australia Community Media in March that the number of stock theft cases had dropped two per cent compared to the $4.2m worth taken during 2017.

"This decrease would be a combination of less livestock on properties due to the drought and our targeted approach to target rural crime offenders," he said.
