High River Mounties are on the lookout for the person or persons responsible for killing three lambs south of High River.

Police say the three were shot with a small calibre weapon sometime this past weekend.

High River RCMP Constable David MacNeil says so far they've come up empty in their investigation.

"At this time we don't have suspects. However, it's not the first time this has happened. We have had an incident, probably within the last six month. And we have no idea who's doing it at this time."

He says rural residents need to be particularly vigilant, when it comes to spotting suspicious behaviour.

He says the shooting happened south of Cayley just off of 690 Avenue.

Anyone with information is asked to call the High River RCMP at (403)652-2357 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or by Internet at www.tipsubmit.com.
