Police are appealing for information following a dog attack on sheep in the Liskeard area. On 7 February 2013 at Minions, Liskeard police received reports of a large brown dog worrying livestock in the area of the Cheesewring.
Two sheep have had to be destroyed due to injury as a result of the incident. Farmers have the right to shoot dogs who risk injuring their livestock, if the dog owner is not present.
The helicopter which crashed in London this morning, killing the pilot and one person on the ground was owned by a Cornish company Castle Air, based in Liskeard.
Robert Murphy reports:
Ross Bunyard, the Managing Director of Castle Air, based in Liskeard, reads a statement in response to the helicopter crash that killed two people in London.
It has been confirmed to ITV News West Country that the helicopter involved in the London crash this morning was owned by Castle Air Charters of Liskeard.
The helicopter was on a long lease to RotorMotion, a company which counts among its clients the Prince of Wales, Prime Minister David Cameron, former PM Tony Blair and the Dalai Lama.
There's been no comment so far from Castle Air Charters on reports that the crash helicopter is registered to them. A spokesman says they will release a statement later today.
