Police are investigating after forestry workers discovered a large amount of animal carcasses near two burned out cars in the Rai Valley area of Marlborough today.
Police say they were called by forestry workers this afternoon when they discovered the bodies of 16 cattle beasts, 12 sheep and 10 pigs on a logging skid site.
There were also two burnt out cars found nearby but police say at this stage it's not believed that these are related to the animal carcasses.
Police are seeking information to establish how both the vehicles and the carcasses came to be dumped there, and ask that anyone with information contacts Havelock Police on (03) 574 2011.
Information can also be given anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
