Police are asking for the public’s help in tracing two teenage boys who watched their dog kill a cat in Cippenham, Slough on Monday (21/4).
At around 4.45pm, witnesses saw the teenagers let their dog off the lead in The Greenway before watching it attack and kill a cat.
Both boys are Asian and in their mid-teens. One was wearing a dark coloured fleece top and dark jogging bottoms and the other was wearing a light coloured top and dark tracksuit bottoms.
The dog is medium-sized with brown and black colouring, possibly an American Pit Bull Terrier.
Slough PC Matt Kille, investigating the incident, said: “We have reason to believe that the boys deliberately let their dog off the lead, knowing it would attack the cat. This is clearly an appalling crime and therefore we urge anyone with information to contact us as soon as possible so that we can catch those responsible and stop it happening again.”
PC Kille can be contacted via the 24-hour Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or give your name, please call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
