Rural crime specialists have seized almost 100 sheep.

“To get a high-end luxury Mercedes vehicle on a rural location, is a little bit unusual, it has some links back into Sydney,” sergeant Damian Nott said.

“The first thing we have to do is identify who the true owners of these sheep are.”

The sheep are being kept in a temporary pen.

Rural crime specialists will inspect ear markings to find the owner of the sheep.

Police, who rounded up the sheep in a temporary pen and inspected their ear markings, carried out the raid as part of a wider investigation.
