Kew Little Pigs Farm located in Amersham confirmed that four goats have been stolen from the premises between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, 10th and 11th December. 

The owners said: “This morning we were heartbroken to discover that thieves had broken into the farm and taken Sunday, Comet, Rose and Blitzen from their pen.  

“These goats are members of our family, and we can’t believe that this has happened. Especially as our security is so tight.  

“We are urgently appealing for anyone who is offered goats for sale, or has any information to get in touch with us directly, or by calling police on 111.  

“This is not the first time that our goats have been the target of crime.”

A similar incident happened on the farm before. In October 2022, another family of goats was taken from Kew Little Pigs Farm, which prompted the owners to ramp up security and CCTV at the premises.

Plea for help

The farm owners added that they have some CCTV footage from an incident that occurred on 10th December between 9.40pm and 10.08pm on School Lane in Amersham. 

They are asking local residents for any information and footage from this time and location. 

They added: “We are specifically searching for a large van with two to three individuals driving during this time. 

“This location is just off Old Amersham High Street and School Lane, so if you were driving in the vicinity around that time, please check your devices.” 

Kew Little Pigs Farm has just launched a fundraising to strengthen the security measures at the site. 

The owners explained: “It is deeply troubling that individuals can take our animals. It’s unsettling to realise that our farm has been accessed without our knowledge, resulting in the theft of our animals for the second time. 

“We have launched a GoFundMe campaign and would be incredibly grateful for your support.”
