Police are appealing for information following a distressing incident at a Pōkeno property last week.
Investigations are continuing after 18 pet goats were shot dead on a property on Ridge Road overnight on Wednesday 13 April.
Counties Manukau South Area Investigations Manager, Detective Senior Sergeant Natalie Nelson, says the animals were inhumanly shot in a fenced paddock and the carcasses were all left on site.
"We are appealing to the public for any information in relation to this incident.
"There will be people in the community that know who is responsible for this and we urge anyone with information to come forward."
She says it's highly likely the person/s responsible also had a dog with them.
