Animal activists who stole lambs from King Charles’ Sandringham estate hand themselves in to police

Animal rights activists who swiped three lambs from the King’s Sandringham estate during a night-time raid have handed themselves in to police. The trio, from the Animal Rising group, filmed themselves going on to Appleton Farm near King’s Lynn, Norfolk, to take the animals from a field.

They then drove off with the creatures, which they claim were destined for slaughter. The women said they had “rescued” the young sheep to allow them to “live their lives to the fullest”.
