Police are investigating the death of two horses in Ilkeston.
A member of the public called officers to a field off Quarry Hill Road yesterday afternoon after discovering the animals.
The owner of the horses was contacted and they were removed from the field.
Post mortem examinations will be carried out but police believe their deaths to be suspicious.
Officers are appealing for witnesses and are urging horse owners to be vigilant. If you see someone acting suspiciously around horses, call the police.
