A spokesman for the force said: ‘The piglets were being kept in their family groups, which is important for pigs as they are social animals.
‘Moving them to a different location could expose them to dangerous bugs and cause unnecessary stress which may lead to premature death.
‘Have you noticed any new piglets at a smallholding or similar location recently?
