At around midnight on 06-14-2017, in the 5400 block of FM 179, an unknown person or persons cut the fence to an enclosure that held domestic deer.

The person or persons then drove the deer from individual enclosures, in an effort to release them. Several deer were injured and or killed while being released. Several were nursing fawns which are now having to be bottle fed. These animals were not to be released directly into the wild.

Anyone with any information please contact the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Division at 806-775-1494.
