A 60-year-old farmer, Peter Parker, is jailed after being convicted of stealing hundreds of animals over a seven-year period, according to reporting. Sources describe multiple thefts in which livestock are taken from markets and later sold or treated as the farmer’s own. One incident is highlighted as particularly large: in 2017 Parker is said to have stolen 650 animals from Newark Livestock Market during the night. The animals were estimated to be worth about £23,000 at the time. Other reporting refers more generally to additional thefts across the same seven-year span, describing the scale of the allegations as involving hundreds of animals in total. The sources agree on the central facts that the defendant is a farmer named Peter Parker, the thefts occurred over about seven years, and the case includes a specific 2017 Newark Livestock Market theft involving 650 animals. The reports state that Parker receives a custodial sentence for the offences.
