Police called for the public's help after a large number of lambs were reportedly stolen from a Marlborough farm.
However, in a dramatic turn of events the owner of the lambs found today that they had only moved to a neighbouring property where they merged with another flock.
Between July 13 and September 15, 50 lambs were reportedly stolen from Ashmore Valley Vineyard paddocks on Grahams Rd in Fairhall.
The lambs were marked with yellow tags and had Ashmore written on them.
