Police have warned owners of horses to keep an eye on their animals amid fears that gangs could steal them to order.
Inspector Erica Green, Co-ordinator of Horse Watch, a partnership between the public and the police designed to cut equine crime said that men had been seen taking pictures of horses in Derbyshire Dales and the High Peak.
She said that she believed that the gang could either be planning to steal the animals to order or to post the pictures on the internet advertising that the horses were for sale.
Payment would be taken but the horses never delivered. Horse Watch members have been sent text messages, letters, emails and faxes warning them to be on their guard.
