Jeremy Clarkson reports theft of 11 sheep from Oxfordshire farm
Clarkson discovered the missing flock while counting livestock with co-star Kaleb Cooper and alerted Thames Valley Police. He believes the theft occurred when filming was paused, making the farm vulnerable despite constant crews and drones. The presenter urged the thieves to return the animals, noting the difficulty of securing a 1,000-acre property.
During a routine headcount at his Diddly Squat farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire, Jeremy Clarkson found that 11 sheep, worth more than £2,000, had vanished. He was accompanied by co-star Kaleb Cooper, and land manager Charlie Ireland also reported the loss to Thames Valley Police. Clarkson speculated the theft happened at night or during a break in filming for the Prime Video series, when the usual crew and aerial drones were absent.
He appealed to the perpetrators to bring the livestock back, emphasizing how the farm’s 1,000 acres make comprehensive monitoring challenging. Police responded promptly, and Clarkson noted the caller recognized the Easycares breed from his television show. The incident follows his recent health update and his appearance at a Grand Tour premiere.
