A police spokeswoman said officers were asking for anyone with more information about the shootings to come forward. The shootings happened during the first week of January at farms on Otokia-Kuri Bush Rd, Akatore Rd, Takitakitoa Rd (two separate farms on the same road), and Rongahere Rd in Beaumont. Nine sheep, two cattle beasts, a cow and a bull were shot, but no meat was gathered from the animals.
