Thames Valley Police has confirmed it was no longer investigating a reported theft of sheep from Jeremy Clarkson's farm, which was reported to the force on September 2.

Following enquiries, it has been established that no sheep were stolen.

Mr Clarkson reported that 11 sheep had gone missing from the farm, after discovering only 16 of his EasyCare sheep, featured in the Amazon Prime television show, remained in the field.
