Hide AdPolice say that the barn in which the calf was being kept is 100 yards from the road and thieves would have had to negotiate two gates to enter it.
Inspector Sarah Leadbeatter, of the Adur, Worthing and Horsham prevention team, said: “We are very keen to see the calf reunited with its rightful owner and would urge anyone with information to get in touch.
“A calf is an unusual subject for a theft and therefore we are hoping someone will have seen or will know the whereabouts of this animal.”
Anyone who may have seen anything suspicious or who may have other information regarding the calf’s disappearance is asked to contact police online or by calling 101, quoting reference 601 of 31/10.
