The former Top Gear presenter Speaking to The Sun, he gave the farm thieves a warning: ‘Put them back. ‘It’s a farm. We’re armed. Just so they know. ‘It p***es me off. Honestly, it just p***es me off.’ ‘I don’t even know when it happened. A real ewedunnit: Jeremy Clarkson demands the return of his Easycare sheep (Picture: Prime Video) ‘We came down yesterday, Kaleb and I, and actually counted sheep, which is quite difficult to do without dozing off. ‘There are 11 that have gone missing from this field, and we think there are some missing from the other field – there are 140 or so in a field a mile or so away. ‘Nobody else has got Easycares, which is what these are. They’re supposedly easy to care for. ‘I just sold 24 of them at the sheep market the other day, and they went for £205 each, so it’s over £2,000 of sheep gone missing.’ Clarkson added: ‘The police have been very good, actually. ‘Once you go through 700 hours of recorded messages, I got through to a girl. ‘I said, ‘I know it’s going to sound like I’m from 1856, but I’ve had some sheep stolen.’ ‘She went through the name and address and then she said, ‘Oh, not your Easycares’. She’s obviously been watching the show, but it is the Easycares.’ He claimed it had been done at night or during a day when the farm was not being filmed for Prime Video’s Clarkson’s Farm, when he said there was ‘a film crew here all the time’ and ‘a drone in the air’.

Anyone could be anywhere and you wouldn’t know.’ The theft was reportedly raised with Thames Valley Police by Cooper and land manager Charlie Ireland.
