Livestock worrying is when a dog attacks or chases livestock on agricultural land, and is a criminal offence.
Police are now searching for witnesses who might be able to help with their enquiries.
They want to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen the dog in the field or has dash-cam or video doorbell footage of either the dog and owner in the area in the minutes before the incident.
Anyone with information or footage should contact PC Phoebe John on 07971971305 or phoebe.john@westmercia.police.uk
