Met Police officers have rescued dogs from an alleged “dog fighting” property in northeast London.
Police officers executed a warrant at a property on Sewardstone Rd, Chingford last Thursday and found adult dogs and puppies from prohibited breeds.
Then humanely destroy them. And when the hopelessly optimistic animal lovers raise a hullabaloo about them being 'innocent' and the real culprits being the owners, point out that there's no reason to melt down perfectly servicable knives and guns either, but we do...
Three men aged between 28-35, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of dangerous dog offences, handling stolen goods, possession of a firearm and possession of offensive weapons in a private place.
Of course. Why is this a surprise? The police should be - and probably are in a lot of cases - well aware that criminality goes hand in hand with criminality.
Officers also discovered a firearm, combat knives, and stolen plant machinery.
Plant machinery? Chingford? Vicious animal cruelty? I'm getting a bit of a vibe here.
No, not footballers!
PC Tom Landels of the Met’s North East Command said: “There was a significant amount of property and a number of dogs seized during this operation.
“The plant machinery will be returned to the lawful owners and the dogs will undergo assessment while they are cared for at a police kennel facility.”
Why bother? Dispose of them humanely.
The three men in question have been released under investigation, while enquiries remain ongoing.
No names, eh?
"The three men in question have been released...." .
ReplyDeleteSo that is three men who will disappear into their community, change their names, and no one will admit knowing them. Considering the number and type offences, and their predeliction for disappearing, they should have been held custody, but then, they automatically have get out of jail free cards.I
It is not only the dogs that needed destroying, humanely or not.

Released under investigation? Will these nomads actually reappear when the police are ready to proceed? I very much doubt it.

ReplyDeleteWe really need a better name for it - 'clan'?

They don't give a tinker's damn, do they? 😆
