TWO pygmy goats have been stolen from the rear garden of a house in Darman Lane, near Paddock Wood.

It is believed the animals were taken at around 8pm on December 24 by two or three men. They were possibly using a blue coloured 4x4 vehicle.

The goats are described as a black and white female and a brown and white male.
