Yes, It's Always A 'Quiet Area' (Apart From The Barking And Screams Of The Victims)...

One resident who wished to remain anonymous said there were about 10 police vehicles at the scene, as well as two fire engines.

The resident said: "They are very normal people. It's shocking. I've heard they are okay at the moment."

Another anonymous resident said: "It's a quiet area. There is one or two nasty dogs but I've always seen them under control. I'd never have thought anything like this would have happened."

If there's 'one or two nasty dogs' in the area, it's always a case of 'when', and not 'if'. Sooner or later, they won't be under control. 

Superintendent Vikki Townsend from Gwent Police said: "We were called to a property in Liswerry, Newport at around 4.50pm on Wednesday, February 2, following reports of a dog attack inside the property.

"Armed officers attended to ensure the safety of members of the public.

"The dog has been taken to a local kennels while officers remain in the area as they carry out their investigations."

If you sent armed officers, why not use them?
