An urgent plea has been made to help track down a swan and her cygnet after the pair went missing from Horsham Park.

The female and her baby disappeared from the park’s pond on Monday, June 26.

Councillor Christine Costin (LDem, Trafalgar) said she believed the birds had been stolen after no evidence was found that the animals had been attacked.

She said: “It’s horrible to think that someone could come down there and take them away.

“Swans are a protected species, these callous and heartless people need to be brought to justice.”

Staff at Horsham District Council had been feeding the swans regularly.

The pair were spotted on Sunday, June 25, but did not appear the following day when the team popped down to give them food.
