Port Erin Police have received a report that broken glass is apparently being intentionally secreted in a Horse Paddock off Mount Gawne Road, Port St Mary.
Fortunately there have been no injuries to any of the animals but the consequences of a horse injuring itself cannot be understated.
Sergeant Gary Heaton of The Southern Neighbourhood Policing Team said “We take matters such as this very seriously and any person who is found to have caused injury to any animal through behaviour such as this is likely to face prosecution, it is by good fortune that the horses weren’t injured on this occasion but officers will be making patrols to the area and other enquiries to apprehend the offenders”.
