Family devastated after thieves kill guinea pigs
A Ludlow family has been left devastated after thieves who stole their pet guinea pigs killed three of the animals by stamping on them.
The thieves entered the front garden of a house in Milton Road between 6.30pm on Friday and 7pm the following night. They broke the doors on two wooden hutches in the garden making off with six guinea pigs. Three others were killed, believed to have been deliberately stamped on.
