Eight sheep were injured during a possible dog attack in one of the most remote parts of the county.
Police believe a dog to be responsible for the injuries to the animals that were inflicted on or around September 4.
The incident happened on farmland next to a country footpath between Barrowden and Harringworth, on the Rutland and Northamptonshire border.
Anyone with information should phone Leicestershire and Rutland Rural Watch on 101, quoting crime reference number 493 7/9.
Local people are reminded to keep dogs on leads at all times when walking across farmland.
