Killer dogs tracked down
POLICE have found the two dogs they believe are responsible for a string of pet killings across Halifax.
Their owners may face court.
Police do not have the power to seize the dogs but say their owners have pledged to keep them indoors.
Sergeant Brian Parker said: "Because of help from the public we have been able to identify the dogs.
"Hopefully this will be the end of the pet killings."
Slaughtered pets – rabbits and guinea pigs – have been reported across Halifax over the last three months.
In total, 17 pets fell victim to the killers.
Attacks have been reported in Wheatley, Pellon, Highroad Well, Norton Tower and Warley, with hutches and pet runs covered in bite marks.
