Dog Thefts Warning
DOG owners, especially those with Springer Spaniels, Lurchers and other gun dogs or Staffordshire Bull Terriers, are being warned to keep a good eye on their dogs as dog-nappers have been operating in the area recently.
It is feared that the thieves may well return in the next few weeks.
Owners are being advised to register their dogs’ DNA or to microchip them, or to have their pets’ ears tattooed. It is also recommended that dog owners lock outside kennels and/or protect them with CCTV.
